Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was originally created as a promotion for Montgomery Ward. He first appeared in a 1939 book & later in this 1948 film. As far as we know, the Library has the only complete version of the original release.

First: More instruments! @YoYo_Ma has played our 1699 Stradivari cello. We also have George Gershwin's piano, which has been played by #GershwinPrize winners @LionelRichie & @smokeyrobinson. More on instruments: https://t.co/zTw6tl65qx

Many of you following along with #LizzoAtLOC were surprised that the Library has a flute vault. We are the largest Library in the world & home to more than 173 million objects, so there are many more surprises like that in our collections. Enjoy this thread of just a few of them.
FYI: @lizzo concerts aren't the only place to hear the Library's classic instruments played live. Opportunities to experience our Stradivari & other antiques like the 1654 Nicolò Amati violin are coming up during the (FREE) fall Concert Series! #LizzoAtLOC https://t.co/8tJ5mAaEzG
Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC
