EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard print by Louis Wain, dating back to 1903, captures a whimsical scene of a cat punting on a serene river. Known for his charming and anthropomorphic illustrations of cats, Wain's work took a darker turn as he struggled with mental health issues later in life. Despite his troubled past and eventual passing in a mental hospital in 1939, Wain's artistic talent shines through in this delightful image.
The cat depicted in the postcard appears relaxed and carefree as it navigates the waters, showcasing Wain's ability to infuse personality into his feline subjects. The tranquil setting of the river adds to the overall charm of the scene, making it a perfect choice for sending cheerful greetings to friends and loved ones.
Published by Faulkner as part of Holt?s Battlefields Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, this print is not only a beautiful piece of art but also serves as a reminder of Wain's enduring legacy as an artist. Despite his struggles, Wain's love for cats and knack for capturing their playful antics continue to bring joy to viewers around the world.
