A set of fifty beguiling, funny, and artistic feline postcards selected from the incomparable collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Bringing together fifty of the V&A’s most adorable, stylish, and charming cats, this boxed postcard set features a wide range of art styles, from the Edwardian eccentricity of Louis William Wain to the whimsy of early Victorian Christmas cards, and from the fish-stealing strays of sixteenth-century genre painting to the sophisticated felines of 1920s Paris.
Included are artists from all over the world using many different mediums, including:
- A tantalizing photograph by A.W. Turner from the 1860s
- The famous Tournée du Chat Noir lithograph poster from 1896
- A unique Chinese painting of a cat waiting in ambush by Ji Biao from 1819
- A charming domestic scene in woodcut by Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro from 1919
- A playful watercolor by an unknown, likely Mughal, artist from 1740 * Pencil sketch studies by Helen Allingham from the early 20th century
