Louis Wain Fact #60:
In spite of his aloof and whimsical public image, Wain was a man of many political opinions, and he often sent long letters to newspapers on topics ranging from war tactics, animal welfare, free trade, eating habits, and the King, often back to back. Although they tended to be winding and dense, they were often published and thus preserved.
