A New Fancy - The Naughty Basset Hounds by Louis Wain
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting and humorous print from 1884, showcasing the whimsical and mischievous world of animals created by the renowned English artist, Louis Wain. The illustration depicts a scene of playful chaos, as four basset hounds tease and chase two frightened black and white cats. The hounds' expressions are full of mischief and bad intentions, their long ears drooping low and their eyes gleaming with excitement. One basset hound enters the room with a coy look on its face, holding a whip in its mouth, adding to the cats' sense of unease. A third cat, seeking sanctuary, hides under an appropriately named book titled "The Cat's Meow," while another cat attempts to escape the scene by climbing onto a table. An upset inkwell stains the rug, adding to the mess and chaos of the moment. The intricate details of the illustration, from the folds in the cats' ears to the texture of the inkwell, showcase Wain's exceptional talent as an artist. The print captures the essence of the playful and sometimes chaotic nature of pets, particularly dogs and cats, and is a testament to Wain's ability to bring their personalities to life in a delightful and endearing way. This charming and timeless print continues to captivate audiences and is a must-have for any animal lover or art collector.
