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.

We are pouter pigeons - can't you hear us coo?
Fleet of wing are we. Tu whit, tu whit, tu whoo!
We can carry messages through the cloudy skies,
But we fear you like us best when made into pies.
