EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the mischievous antics of "Georgie" a five-year-old cat belonging to Mrs. Essen of Whickham Avenue, Dunston on Tyne. After a night out exploring the neighborhood, Georgie always insists on returning home with the milkman. This adorable feline has learned to knock at the front door, much to Mrs. Essen's amusement and occasional annoyance. According to Mrs. Essen's interview with the Daily Mirror in December 1951, Georgie's habit of knocking has become a constant source of interruption in their lives. Even if he disappears for just a few minutes, they can expect to hear his distinctive rat tat tat on the letterbox knocker. Sure enough, there is George patiently tapping with one paw until his human opens the door. The photograph showcases Georgie standing proudly outside their house, exuding both confidence and mischief simultaneously. His playful nature shines through as he gazes directly into the camera lens. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints not only captures an endearing moment between pet and owner but also offers us a glimpse into life in 1950s suburban England—a time when even cats had unique personalities that brought joy and laughter into people's homes.
