Mounted Prints from Heritage Images
Large Cat, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Large Cat, 1850. This noble specimen of the Cat is domesticated at No. 175, Oxford-street, [London]. He is a beautifully-marked Tabby, and is very docile, though his unusually large size conveys to the beholder, at first sight, a contrary impression. He weighs 25¾lb.; and measures 27 inches round the body, and 36½ inches from the tip of the tail to the end of the nose; height, 11½ inches to the top of the shoulders. The Cat has gained 7 lb. in weight within the last two years; he does not eat so much as an ordinary cat, and is extremely active, and rarely appears to be inconvenienced by his great bulk. He is seven years old, and was born in a building known as "the old Palace at Chelsea". From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from the 19th century showcases a large and majestic tabby cat, weighing in at an impressive 25¾lb and measuring an impressive 27 inches around the body and 36½ inches from the tip of its tail to the end of its nose. The cat, which stands at a height of 11½ inches to the top of its shoulders, was domesticated at No. 175, Oxford-street in London. Despite its imposing size, the cat is docile and gentle, with beautiful tabby markings that add to its regal appearance. The cat, which is seven years old, has gained 7 lb. in weight within the last two years, yet it does not consume as much food as an ordinary cat. Its great size may initially convey a contrary impression, but the cat is extremely active and rarely appears to be inconvenienced by its bulk. This engraving was published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian-era pets. The cat's owner, unknown to us, kept it in a building known as the old Palace at Chelsea. This rare and intriguing photograph print offers a unique insight into the world of domestic felines during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of these beloved animals.
