The @vintagetribune Instagram, a beloved photography account produced by the photo editors of the Chicago Tribune, has been mining the newspaper's vast subterranean archives since 2014 and breathing new life into its most gram-worthy black-and-white images.

You won't find the 300 photos in this collection in your typical time capsule. These aren't the dramatic, front-page, history-making photographs we're used to seeing from photojournalists. These are the images that would have been posted had Instagram existed in, say, 1932-the offbeat, gritty, strange, funny, rare, charming, everyday images captured in the moments that happened between the well-documented events that make up the city's official biography.

This book is an unexpected, inspired portrait of one of the world's great metropolises, told through the lenses of the countless feet-on-the-street photographers from the city's hometown paper.

And yes, there are cats. We are talking about Instagram, after all.
