Wain (Louis) In Cat and Dog Land with Louis Wain
£250
London, Raphael Tuck, [c.1906].
No. 6256. 4to. Original cloth-backed pictorial boards.
Twelve chromolithographed plates and numerous line drawings by Louis Wain (1860–1939), whose anthropomorphic cats made him a household name and whose later mental illness was dramatised in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021), with Benedict Cumberbatch. An appealing example of an uncommon Raphael Tuck colour production.
