Description

As the title of this book succinctly sums him up, Louis Wain was the man who drew cats. Indeed, he is probably the most celebrated illustrator of cats of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Rodney Dale discusses the absorbing story of a very talented, but tormented man, and his much-imitated unique style. This biography, first published in 1968, was reissued with extensive revisions and new colour plates in 1991 and this is the second printing of that edition. Condition: new, from the stocks of the Chris Beetles Gallery. 4to. 144pp
