I hope you’re having a great weekend! I thought this was interesting when I ran across it last night. It is a sheet music cover from 1855 called Barnum’s Baby Show Polka. Even though it is 1855 and most mothers breastfed, I thought it was interesting that this sheet music cover showed some of the mothers nursing. You can click the cover to see it up close.
