I wanted more pictures.
This is a sweet little book. It's 8 1/2 x 11 inches, but maybe only 30 pages long. There are only 15 pictures of Louis' drawings.

This review is from: Catland (Louis Wain) (Hardcover)

This edition is by Magna Press, 1995, and the most recent edition of the book. A slim large hardback, with about 40 pages. The kitties are as fascinating as the artist. Highly recommended. Rare.

The pictures are full page and full color, although maybe a little faded. There are only 3 that were drawn during Louis' phase of really schizophrenic looking drawings. Most of them are the earlier drawings, which are cute and strange, but not as fantastic as the later drawings. If you're looking for the wild, vibrating cats, this is not the book for you.
