https://victorianvisualculture.blog/2012/12/06/louis-wain-painter-of-cats/ > Louis Wain was born in Clerkenwell, London in 1860. The oldest of six children. At the age of 20 he became a freelance artist to support his mother and sisters following the death of his father. His specialties were illustrations of animals and country scenes. Wain found work with several London Journals including “The Illustrated London News.” > At 23, Wain married his sister’s governess, Emily, who also happened to be ten years his senior. (ESCANDALO!) Tragically, Emily was ill with what would turn out to be breast cancer and within three years of their union, she would be dead. During her illness, Wain began to draw pictures of their adopted stray kitten to cheer her up. ...

If youre interested, I highly recommend watching the movie about him. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the main character and its a really touching film.

I read Louis wain as Lois Lane and was wondering what is she doing in my history sub 😭
