Catastrophe Cats Eaten Eating Entree Escaped Wain
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Louis Wain's whimsical and delightful illustration, "Louis Wain - A Christmas Catastrophe," captures the chaos and mischief that can sometimes ensue during the holiday season. In this charming scene, set in an American household circa 1906, a Christmas feast has taken a turn for the worse as a rat has managed to make off with the turkey, leaving the cats to feast on the remains. The cats, with their expressive faces and human-like poses, seem to be in various stages of shock and disbelief as they look on at the missing main course. One cat, with a smirk on its face, reaches for a glass of milk, while another, wearing a festive bow, laps up water from a nearby bowl. The holiday table, adorned with Christmas crackers and colorful decorations, adds to the festive atmosphere, making the unexpected intrusion of the rat all the more amusing. Louis Wain's unique and imaginative style, with its anthropomorphized animals and intricate details, continues to captivate audiences and bring joy to all who behold it. This illustration is a reminder that even in the midst of holiday chaos, there is always room for a little humor and lightheartedness.
