You are bidding on a large original antique print from an 1890s illustrated journal.

It depicts scenes of a mischievous bulldog puppy destroying everyone's shoes at a hotel. It is by artist Louis Wain.

Louis Wain (5 August 1860 – 4 July 1939) was an English artist best known for his drawings, which consistently featured anthropomorphised large-eyed cats and kittens.  Wain was involved with several animal charities, including the Governing Council of Our Dumb Friends League, the Society for the Protection of Cats, and the Anti-Vivisection Society. He was also active in the National Cat Club, acting as President and Chairman of the committee at times. He felt that he helped "to wipe out the contempt in which the cat has been held" in England.

The caption reads: "Boots at the Swan [Hotel]" or "Nothing Like Leather".
