Always bring twigs when you're going to meet the cat pope. 1797. www.loc.gov/resource/ppm...

Detailed etching on off white paper. A rooster stands on the right, holding out a bundle of twigs like an offering. A shorthaired white and tabby cat on the left is looking at the viewer and accepting the twigs - it is wearing an ornate, layered papal tiara and leaning on a walking stick.

Thanks - I'm still amazed they've done nothing for years though. NTTD was finished in 2019 - it's been longer than the entire Dalton era. Very strange
