A lovely set of nine, cat and kitten, collectable drawings by artist Clare Turlay Newberry. The artist says of her fascination for cats,
"There is something special in my feeling for cats, all cats,....a feeling I have for no other creature. All true cat lovers will know what I mean when I say there is a mystery in this emotion. It is a kind of adoration, almost a cult."
Originally done in charcoal, crayon, pencil, wash, or pen and ink, each print illustration is a charming frameable image sure to appeal to any cat fancier.
