Our Cats, a Domestic History
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of feline companionship throughout the ages. In this enchanting engraving by Louis Wain, we are transported to a time when cats were cherished members of every household. The print showcases various scenes that depict the daily lives of these beloved creatures. From the moment a new kitten arrives in its new home, it is met with love and care. As it grows, it plays and frolics with other cats, honours its instincts by chasing sparrows and mice, and rests peacefully in cozy baskets. The cat show scene highlights their regal nature as one lucky feline is crowned for its exceptional beauty. Yet amidst all the joyous moments captured in this print, there are also hints of mischief. A mischievous cat enjoys larceny as it steals cans of food while another cleverly diverts attention from danger to protect its family. Wain's intricate engravings beautifully illustrate how cats have been both helpful companions and independent spirits throughout history. They clean themselves meticulously after enjoying milk or meat treats; they provide comfort to those who feel neglected or lonely; they even commit acts of bravery to safeguard their loved ones. "Our Cats, a Domestic History" reminds us why these graceful animals hold such a special place in our hearts - their loyalty, playfulness, and ability to bring warmth into any home transcends time itself.
