Louis Wain Fact #43:
Back in the day, Louis Wain's declining health was very sensationalised in the newspapers, often playing things up and including false details, which makes it quite difficult to get a clear picture. In an anonymous 1949 article in Antioch news, they claimed that Wain claimed cats had cursed him, drew “devilish and horrifying” cats, and that his doctor [cat caricature pictured] destroyed all of his later cat artwork. Needless to say, this is not true.
