EDITORS COMMENTS
Mr. Louis Wain at Home with His Scary Cats (Scarey cat - Mr Louis Wain at Home, 1897) is a captivating and whimsical depiction of renowned British artist, Louis Wain, in his personal sanctuary surrounded by his beloved feline companions. This charming photograph, taken in the late 1890s during the Victorian era, offers a rare glimpse into the artist's private world. Louis Wain, born in 1860, was a prolific artist, best known for his distinctive and enchanting illustrations of cats. His unique style, characterized by the anthropomorphization of cats, brought joy and humor to the lives of many during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this photograph, Wain is seen seated comfortably at home, engrossed in his work, with a cat curled up on his lap and several others playfully peering over his shoulder or lounging around the room. The cats in the image are depicted in Wain's signature style, with exaggerated facial expressions and human-like poses, adding an element of amusement and companionship to the scene. The setting of the photograph, with its warm, inviting atmosphere, further emphasizes the close bond between Wain and his cats. The artist's home served as a haven for his creative inspiration, and his cats were his constant companions and muses. This photograph, taken in 1897, is a testament to the deep connection between Louis Wain and his cats, and a reminder of the joy and whimsy that his artwork continues to bring to audiences today.
