SILVESTER, JOHN — A Catland Companion

Garage A4 yellowish, Michael O'Mara Books. 1994. (ISBN: 9781854797650). Hardcover. The domestic popularity of cats grew during Victorian times.

The book gives a pictorial glimpse of feline life as portrayed by artists such as Helena Maguire, Louis Wain and Henrietta Ronner.
