Louis Wain Fact #62:
There was a popular joke in the 1910s which referred to Wain, and appeared in several newspapers and novels at the time.
The joke’s setup has a woman looking to have her portrait painted, and asks someone for an artist recommendation. The person she is talking to, typically male, then responds with “Louis Wain.”

And as, of course, the less the great,
Whate'er their station, imitate,
The Ping Pong craze, as time extended,
Unto the kitchen-floor descended.
