Synopsis

The enchanting kitty companion to Postcard Dogs—an elegant little album of 225 vintage postcard images.

This beguiling collection of vintage postcards presents a pageant of pussycats—225 in all—from the exotic to the demotic, the spectacular to the vernacular. Libby Hall, creator of the popular Postcard Dogs, here joins forces with artist and fellow postcard enthusiast Tom Phillips. Between them, they have left no card unturned in their search for quintessential kitties and images emblematic of the ancient and touching bond between feline and human.
