A 1940s framed print of a gorgeous pair of Siamese cats by artist Gladys Emerson Cook. The print seems to be in its original wooden frame. There are some age related issues to the print (wavy edges) and the frame (distressed areas) but overall it is in very good condition. The backing paper has been replaced. Please see pictures.
Gladys Emerson Cook (November 7, 1894-February 1977), was an American artist born in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
