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.”
