EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Herring's Silver Tabby Cat, Lady Godiva, triumphantly poses for a photograph after winning the coveted 1st prize at the prestigious Crystal Palace Cat Show in October 1892. The late Victorian era was a time of great fascination with pets, and cats in particular held a special place in the hearts of many. Mrs. Herring's beautiful silver tabby, Lady Godiva, with her piercing green eyes and sleek coat, was no exception. The Crystal Palace Cat Show was one of the most highly anticipated events of the year, attracting cat lovers from all corners of the country. Lady Godiva's victory was a testament to her exceptional beauty and grace, as well as her owner's dedication and care. This photograph, taken in October 1892, captures Lady Godiva at the height of her glory. She sits proudly on a velvet cushion, her ears perked up and her tail curled around her paws. The image is a stunning example of the artistry of Louis Wain, a renowned English painter and illustrator of the time, who was known for his whimsical and expressive depictions of cats. The photograph is a precious reminder of the deep bond between humans and their pets, and the joy and pride that comes with owning a beloved companion. It also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasures of life, like the companionship of a beloved cat, were cherished and celebrated.
