Louis Wain Fact #45:
Upon graduating from the West London School of Art, he didn't go straight into commercial artwork, and instead became a teacher there. He was apparently quite a poor one, who was too shy to interact with students and himself felt that he was not gaining enough knowledge from the experience.

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
