Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the early twentieth-century fascination with cats through the life of Louis Wain, whose whimsical anthropomorphic illustrations transformed public perception of felines. Wain's iconic images of cats engaging in human activities became emblematic of the era and influenced cat breeding practices. Despite his success, he faced personal struggles, including financial ruin and mental health issues, ultimately spending his later years in an asylum. His legacy lies in making cats beloved companions in households throughout Europe.
