EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures a pivotal moment from the beloved English fairy tale, "Dick Whittington and His Cat". The scene depicts Puss, the cunning feline protagonist, in hot pursuit of a group of mischievous rats and mice. Published in 1922 as part of the historical graphica collection by Arthur Rackham, this colourful print brings to life the enchanting world of folklore. Puss's determination is palpable as she springs into action without hesitation upon spotting her prey. Her piercing gaze reveals both intelligence and instinct as she prepares to outsmart her adversaries. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element of this illustration - from the overturned goblet on the table to the luscious fruits scattered around. The feast laid out before us adds an air of opulence and grandeur to this fantastical setting. A regal king presides over the festivities while a peculiar lobster scuttles nearby, adding an unexpected touch of whimsy. Amidst all this splendor, Puss remains focused on her mission - ensuring that not a single rodent escapes her clutches. As we admire this delightful artwork, it serves as a reminder that bravery knows no bounds when faced with challenges. Puss exemplifies courage and resourcefulness through her swift actions, inspiring viewers young and old alike. This lithograph transports us back in time to relive cherished tales from our childhoods while celebrating Rackham's artistic brilliance.
