The book of the cat : with facsimiles of drawings in colour
The Book of the Cat, published in New York by Fredrick A. Stokes Co. in 1903, is a juvenile picture book of cat studies by the illustrator E. F. Bonsall, with text by Mabel Humphrey. The colour plates show cats sleeping, stalking and grooming in interiors and outdoor settings, rendered in soft tones with loose, fluid outlines that suggest quick studies a designer could adapt for animal motifs, nursery decoration or muted, textured backgrounds.
