#CowAppreciationDay:

While Georgia O'Keeffe painted some shells and skulls along with her many flowers and landscapes, living animals show up very rarely in her work. This is easily the best of those exceptions! 🐮

Georgia O'Keeffe (American, 1887-1986) Cow Licking, 1921 oil on canvas Denver Art Museum

Fireman's Coat

Late 19th Century to Early 20th Century

Japan

Japanese firemen's coats are reversible. When fighting fires, the coat was worn as shown, together with close-fitting trousers, a hood, and gloves. Saturated with water, these garments gave protection against flames. A bold, legible pattern on the back identified the fireman’s brigade. For festive occasions, the pictorial side faced outward. This coat shows the Toad Spirit offering to teach the robber Jiraya magic, provided he used it only to benefit humanity.
