Louis Wain Fact #55:
The first drawing Wain ever had published appeared in the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News of 10 December 1881. It was a picture of bullfinches perched atop laurel bushes. Through a printer’s error, it was accidently titled Robins Breakfast, causing Wain to be “severely chaffed in consequence.”

We are pouter pigeons - can't you hear us coo?
Fleet of wing are we. Tu whit, tu whit, tu whoo!
We can carry messages through the cloudy skies,
But we fear you like us best when made into pies.
