Louis Wain's Annual 1912

1912

Published by John F. Shaw & Co LTD.

Featuring illustrations by Louis Wain. The 10th edition of Louis Wain's longest running series. A wide array of artwork is seen here, from his usual cat comics, to psychedelic abstractions and detailed landscapes. It is clear he has reserved the best examples of his artwork for the publication bearing his name in the title.

The composition features poems and prose from many acclaimed (and also unknown) authors, including Fred M. White, John Strange Winter, his own sister—Ms. Caroline Wain, and an uncharacteristic piece by Louis Wain himself, detailing a horror at sea.
