Excited Dog (19th Century)

This is an excited dog or one that can fly. Both options are pretty rad! This is such an incredible thing to capture on film, especially when photography was not always easily done during that time.

Vintage Grumpy Cat (1879)

Vintage Grumpy Cat actually enjoys his little friends, he is just bad at showing his true emotions. I like to think that images like this paved the way for future grumpy kitties.

Vapo Cresolene - The Coal Tar Inhaler

"Vapo-Cresolene, marketed in various forms since the late 19th century, vaporized a coal-tar by-product in the included apparatus for inhalation to allegedly treat a host of diseases, including diphtheria and influenza. Though the FDA successfully moved against this product under the 1906 Act, the manufacturer transferred the therapeutic claims from the label to Vapo-Cresolene’s advertising." - FDA. https://oddical.com/vapo-cresolene/
