Louis Wain Fact #15:
Although many of Louis Wain’s illustrations are timeless classics, he was also quite a popular illustrator when it came to topical subjects. He had produced fad illustrations relating to World War I, The Harrogate sulphur-water craze, Women’s suffrage, Diabolos, the Japan-British Exhibition, the Ping Pong craze of 1903, and rarely, cat caricatures of contemporary theatre celebrities.
