Arthur Rackham (September 19, 1867 to September 6, 1939) the British illustrator, is famous for his whimsy, delicate drawings, and fairy tale themes. Poor Cecco (1925) is one such story, by Marjory Bianco, who also wrote the Velveteen Rabbit (1922). But it was Poor Ceeco Rackham illustrated, and despite the story being about a toy dog, it featured a real cat, a real fictional cat, and a fictional fictional frog. Here are some of the characters:
And here--- is another Rackham cat. It appeared in his illustrations for Grimm's Fairy Tales (1903).
Looking twice at this image, it occurs to me that this cat of precarious potency, has been imitated and by whom would make another blog post.
