Possession is Nine Points of the Law
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration by the Victorian-era artist Louis Wain, showcasing a cat's playful possession of a cast-off saucepan during a snowy winter scene. The whimsical image captures the moment as a curious magpie and a blue tit peer on, their expressions hinting at a sense of bewilderment and fascination. Louis Wain, a prolific illustrator, was renowned for his ability to turn his hand to drawing a wide variety of animals, long before his fame was synonymous with his feline creations. The historical context of this illustration dates back to 1892, a time when Wain's artistic talent was already well-established. However, as the years passed, Wain's growing obsession with cats began to consume him. His once vibrant and imaginative drawings became increasingly focused on his beloved felines, leading him down a path of insanity. By 1939, Wain's mental health had deteriorated, and he died penniless in a mental asylum. This illustration, titled "Decorative Design for a Pot," is a testament to Wain's artistic genius and his ability to imbue even the most mundane objects with charm and character. The image of the cat occupying the pot during the snowy weather is a delightful reminder of the whimsy and wonder that once defined Wain's artistic legacy. The selection of birds in the scene adds an extra layer of intrigue and depth to the image, as they appear to be observing the cat's possession with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. The blues and whites of the snowy scene contrast beautifully with the warm tones of the illustration, creating a visual feast for the eyes. This historical illustration is a treasure trove of detail and character, inviting the viewer to delve deeper into the world of Louis Wain and his extraordinary artistic journey.
