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.”
