Louis Wain Fact #47:
Louis Wain had done public displays of his artistry on occasion, but they had not always gone to plan During a 1915 exhibition at the Royal Albert Hall, he was provided flimsy paper that kept tearing under his charcoal. Onlookers of other displays had also remarked on his unintentionally humorous commentary.

To scratch, and squall, and mew;
And climb up trees a giddy height
To get a pleasant view.
And though the tree had many boughs,
They thought it better fun
To leave the rest for other cats,
And scramble on to one."
