Louis Wain Fact #9:
Since a boy, he had an interest in fighting sports such as boxing and sparring, and his nose seemingly bore the signs of being broken in such matches. Although Wain himself admits the truth is possibly a bit more mundane, “As a child I had had my nose broken at school.”

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
