Louis Wain Fact #8:
Wain’s work is often confused and conflated with that of his contemporary, G.H. Thompson. Certain accounts even go as far as to say Thompson was an alias of Wain, but this was not the case. Thompson and Wain were separate individuals, and although they both often drew caricaturised animals, they each have styles that are recognisably distinct from the other.
