Louis Wain Fact #10:
He was seemingly the first to discover cat’s aversions to orange peels! While originally dismissed as one of his eccentric beliefs, it has since been corroborated by science and many now use lines of orange peels or other citrus fruits to deter feline intrusions to their gardens or flowerpots.

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
