Large lot of Louis Wain postcards of cats. Some of the cards are Tucks, but there are a number of publishers. Wain's cats showed human traits and emotions and in his later years it is reported that he suffered from Schizophrenia, which shows up in his work. Louis Wain's works are highly collectible. Louis William Wain (5 August 1860 – 4 July 1939) was an English artist best known for his drawings, which consistently featured anthropomorphized large-eyed cats and kittens. In his later years he may have suffered from schizophrenia (although this claim is disputed among specialists), which, according to some psychiatrists, can be seen in his works (wiki). This lot features 66 art cards from Wain. Average to better condition overall. View photos of this fantastic lot.
