An original annual book from 1921 by artist Louis Wain, featuring a collection of cat-themed illustrations and stories. This is the final of Louis Wain's annual, which he first started published in 1901. Wain published this annually from 1901 to 1915, with this final special volume appearing in 1921 only.
It showcases Wain's unique and whimsical style, making it a valuable addition to any book collector's inventory.
The cats featured in the book are anthropomorphised and depicted in various humorous and charming situations, reflecting Wain's signature playful, imaginative and colourful character.
Interestingly, this volume shows an increase of patterned fabrics Wain illustrated with his cats, a small insight into the future psychedelic and kaleidoscopic style he painted in whilst in ill health.
A true gem for fans of antique and collectible books.
