A Catland Companion / Classic Cats by Louis Wain & Many Others / Beautiful Large Format Vintage Book of Victorian Illustrated Cats

A super vintage hardback title from 1994 - A Catland Companion is packed full of Victorian-era cat illustrations. The late 19th and early 20th century was the height of fashion for anthropomorphised cats in art, stationery, advertisements & book illustration, made famous by artists such as Louis Wain, Helena Maguire & Henrietta Ronner. 

Catland is a magical world created by Raphael Tuck and Louis Wain from the 1880s onwards and is a magical world that can only be visited by postcards, advertisements, book illustrations and prints.
