EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Louis Wain, the renowned cat artist, graced an advertisement for Phosferine, a tonic medicine in the December 21, 1800 issue of Illustrated London News. Wain, with a warm and inviting smile, testifies to the tonic's effectiveness, praising its ability to act as a good pick-me-up, improve one's appetite, and possess striking invigorating properties. Before his fame with his feline creations, Wain demonstrated a remarkable versatility in his art, skillfully rendering a wide variety of animals. However, his growing obsession with cats would eventually lead him down a tragic path. Despite his talent and early success, Wain's later years were marred by insanity. He died penniless in a mental asylum in 1939. This portrait, a testament to Wain's charm and charisma, offers a glimpse into the life of an artist whose passion for his subject matter ultimately consumed him. The image, brought to you by Illustrated London News Ltd and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and contradictions that can be found in even the most celebrated of artistic careers.
