"It's Dogged As Does It."

September 18, 1903.  It's Dogged As Does It by illustrator Louis Wain. ---Tim Tobby was not very wise, He thought, "Oh, I can't win a prize!"  But he stuck to his book, And such trouble he took, That he did, to his joy and surprise.  From Louis Wain's Baby's Picture-Book.

CATS Just Wanna Have Fun - The Jolly Birds!

 September 24, 1922.  BILLY AND KITTY KAT SPEND A DAY AT THE SEASHORE.  Billy Kat seems to be very proud about something - wonder if he really went in bathing.  Do you like his boardwalk suit?  Kitty Kat's afraid the big wave will wet her new bathing suit.  Kitty wears a big hat to keep from getting freckles.  She thinks her best dress is darling.  These paper dolls are very cute after coloring.

 October 27, 1901.  Illustration by Louis Wain from a story in the children's section in a newspaper.  I call this picture "The Three Sisters Go For A Wild Ride".  The three sisters are of course, Rose, Violet and Daisy.
