frippp: Is not pictured, but mentioned in Chris Beetles' 1986 exhibition catalogue: (Dimensions given with height first)
On loan from the Bethlem Royal Hospital, catalogued by Patricia Allderidge. 108. GINGER CAT Coloured pencil on paper Inscribed on verso: F. Deuxbery, Mr. Louis Wain. Sept 1931 Date: September 1931 10" x 7" The Bethlem Royal Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital Health Authority (Guttman-Maclay Collection) This picture was drawn at Napsbury Hospital where the previous owner, Mr Deuxbery, was one of the nurses who looked after Wain. The background is presumably an example of the 'wallpaper patterns', so-called by the staff of Napsbury: in the early 30s Wain is said to have stopped drawing cats at all for a while, and drawn only these patterns, though he soon returned to cats. |

The Eight 'Kaleidoscope' pictures on load from the Bethlem Royal Hospital, catalogued by Patricia Allderidge. General note: These pictures have been shown together in one amount for many years and were presumably arranged like this by Dr Maclay. Although it is known that he found 'some' pictures by Louis Wain in a shop in Camden Hill it is not certain how many of these were included, and nothing is known of their origin or when any of them were painted. The order in which they are seen here is entirely artificial. 100. CAT IN PROFILE Coloured pencil on paper 8 7/8" x 6 7/8" The lightly sketched background of leaves seems to have more in common with a picture such as *The Cup that Cheers*, illustrated on the cover of Michael Parkin's *Louis Wain's Cats* and dated by him to c.1912, than with the 'wallpaper' designs of the Napsbury period. |

Whate'er their station, imitate, The Ping Pong craze, as time extended, Unto the kitchen-floor descended.

101. PERPLEXED CAT
Chalk, pastel and coloured pencil on paper
8 7/8" x 6 7/8"
The background of this picture is similar in style, though less precisely drawn, to the supposed 'wallpaper pattern' in no. 108 (Ginger Cat) (https://catland.distin.org/post/view/4751)
