The domestic popularity of cats grew during Victorian times. This book allows the reader to make a brief visit to this magical world of "catland" once again, as it examines scraps, greetings cards, postcards, advertisements, book illustrations and prints from the period 1880 to 1920. The book gives a pictorial glimpse of feline life as portrayed by artists such as Helena Maguire, Louis Wain and Henrietta Ronner. Cats can be seen at play throughout the seasons - ice-skating in January through holidaying at the seaside in summer, to apple-bobbing at Hallow'een.
