Louis Wain Trivia!

Louis Wain Fact #17:

In the 1910s, Wain and his family were struggling immensely due to a number of issues, such as copyright and paper shortages from the war, which led to a lack of demand for his work. Louis Wain had reportedly paid shopkeepers for their wares with his drawings. A fair trade, as nowadays simple sketches of his can go for hundreds of pounds.
