This charming collection of cat drawings are from the talented pen of Oliver Herford. The facial expressions and antics of these cats and kittens would seem to indicate that Herford must have lived with cats in his home. With a very limited use of color, usually on just the cat’s eyes; Herford draws your attention to the cat in the picture regardles of what surrounds them. Each and every one of these vintage cat images would make a wonderful addition to your next creative project. Used alone or as a group, these images would easily make a great stationary or note card collection.

This vintage cat drawing and the other’s from The Kitten’s Garden of Verse are among my favorites on Reusable Art. They all date to 1911 and were the work of Oliver Herford (1863-1935).
