Olen vuosien aikana kerännyt aikamoisen määrän kissakortteja. Museoiden kaupat ovat oikeita aarreaittoja kissakorttien kerääjälle. Useat korteistani ovat taidekortteja.

"The Large Cat" is from British Museum´s department of prints. The etching was done by Dutch Cornelis Visscher (1629-1658). The patterns of the fur of the cat and the wall and window behind are perfect: small narrow lines, which form squares and diamond shapes. The cat seems to be asleep, but it´s senses are alert if the mouse or rat behind it comes any closer. The expression of the rodent is quite dumb, it would like to go ahead, and by the look of it it´s going to end up in the cat´s jaws.
I have collected quite a large number of cat cards over decades. Museum shops are treasure-troves for a cat card collector. Several of my cat cads are art cards.
