1945 Blue Eyed Catch Colley Lead Melville Mice Portrays Ready Childrens

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a rare find from the pages of a children's book published during the heart of World War II. Entitled "The Blue-Eyed Cat," this illustration features Tom, a dapper feline donning a military uniform, complete with hat and epaulets. With a determined look in his bright blue eyes, Tom stands at the head of an army of mice, each one also dressed in miniature military garb, ready to follow their fearless leader into battle. The scene exudes a sense of unity and camaraderie, as the tiny soldiers salute their commander with unwavering loyalty. The war may have been raging outside, but within the pages of this book, Tom and his mouse army were preparing to fight their own battle against an enemy far closer to home. This charming illustration, created circa 1945, offers a delightful glimpse into the wartime spirit and the power of imagination, reminding us that even in the most challenging of times, there is always room for hope and adventure. This image is part of the extensive collection of historical prints from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online.
