The Lloyd will be closed on Friday, July 3.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, it's worth noting that The Lloyd’s collections go back to 1776 and even earlier, to 1493. Representing freedom, strength, and resilience, we share this bald eagle illustration from Mark Catesby’s The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (1731-1743).
