Louis Wain Fact #13:
During Wain's early childhood, he had been plagued with terrifying nightmares, 'visions of extraordinary complexity'. These miraculously vanished after he had recovered from scarlet fever some time around the age of ten. Current historians speculate that these visions had a lasting impact on the impressionable young Wain, and perhaps had influenced the intricate illustrations he produced later in life.
