Louis Wain Fact #78:
The status of Wain’s animation career is largely contested. It is commonly spread that nothing had come from these attempts, however there is much evidence to suggest the contrary. We have accounts of those who’d worked on it, those who had seen it, and an advertisement that shows “The Golfing Cat” was number 8 of Gaumont’s third set of interest films, and it’s 340 ft of film was released on October 8th, 1917

Dear Miss Hall,
Referring to our conversation today re Mr J Hannon late editor of map, I have just heard from his sister who thinks it wiser to wait till I hear from her again, as the doctor says that a growth is forming at the back of his eyes & this evidently means cataract possibly blindness.
Yours faithfully
Louis Wain
