Louis Wain Fact #65:
The black cat has an interesting place in superstition and mythology. In Wain’s work it was always seen as a sign of Good luck, as it was common in Britain at the time. However, in certain areas of the UK and Europe, and especially the US, the black cat was beginning to take hold as an icon of bad luck and witchcraft.

Currently unsure which one is closer to the original piece.
This version is taken from the inside of Where The Long Shadows Fall (Beforetheinmostlight) vinyl: https://www.discogs.com/release/242205-Current-93-Where-The-Long-Shadows-Fall-Beforetheinmostlight/image/SW1hZ2U6MzgxOTg5MzA=
Whereas the green version is reversed from the image used in the same release's CD version: https://www.discogs.com/release/230513-Current-93-Where-The-Long-Shadows-Fall-Beforetheinmostlight/image/SW1hZ2U6MjM5NDI0
