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

Recumbent Lion, facing Right, about 1660-5 is the name of this card. It sounds rather cold and scientific, museum-like. The picture is Rembrandt´s (1606-1669) drawing of a lion with brown ink on brown paper. The head of the lion is disproportionately large, which emphasizes it´s power. But the hind legs curl up small just like it´s relative cat´s paws. A beautiful and expressive drawing with a few pen lines.
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.
