Publisher's Synopsis
The domestic popularity of cats grew during Victorian times. This book allows the reader to make a brief visit to this magical world of "catland" once again, as it examines scraps, greetings cards, postcards, advertisements, book illustrations and prints from the period 1880 to 1920.;The book gives a pictorial glimpse of feline life as portrayed by artists such as Helena Maguire, Louis Wain and Henrietta Ronner. Cats can be seen at play throughout the seasons - ice-skating in January through holidaying at the seaside in summer, to apple-bobbing at Hallow'een.
