A set of fifty beguiling, funny, and artistic feline postcards selected from the incomparable collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Bringing together fifty of the V&A's most adorable, stylish, and charming cats, this boxed postcard set features a wide range of art styles, from the Edwardian eccentricity of Louis William Wain to the whimsy of early Victorian Christmas cards, and from the fish-stealing strays of sixteenth-century genre painting to the sophisticated felines of 1920s Paris. Included are artists from all over the world using many different mediums, including: A tantalizing photograph by A.W. Turner from the 1860s The famous Tournée du Chat Noir lithograph poster from 1896 A unique Chinese painting of a cat waiting in ambush by Ji Biao from 1819 A charming domestic scene in woodcut by Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro from 1919 A playful watercolor by an unknown, likely Mughal, artist from 1740 Pencil sketch studies by Helen Allingham from the early 20th century And many more. A beautiful collection to give, receive, or use for correspondence or decor, Cats of the V&A offers a cat-themed piece of art for every mood and occasion.
