EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at the Cat Show, Crystal Palace" takes us back to a bygone era when cat shows were all the rage. Created by Louis Wain in 1887 for The Illustrated London News, this print captures the essence of a lively event filled with playful felines and their proud owners. In this scene, we witness early arrivals eagerly awaiting the start of the show. Children's pets are showcased as cherished playthings while their owners anxiously prepare them for competition. The Crystal Palace provides an elegant backdrop for this gathering of cat enthusiasts from all walks of life. Amidst the excitement, one can't help but notice a prize-winning cat being admired by onlookers. Meanwhile, other claimants dispute its title, creating a sense of friendly rivalry among participants. A few mischievous kittens have even managed to escape their enclosures, adding an element of chaos to this otherwise refined affair. Louis Wain's sketches beautifully capture both the grace and quirkiness that make cats such beloved companions. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, it reminds us that no matter where they find themselves – be it at a prestigious show or within our own homes – cats will always bring joy and warmth to our lives.
