The Owl and the Pussy-cat


The marriage of 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat', an illustration by JVL for The Nonsense Verse of Edward Lear, Cape, 1992 and republished in 2012 to celebrate the bicentenary of Edward Lear's birth. 
The marriage was conducted 'By the Turkey who lived on the hill'. This illustration took 16 hours and 49 minutes to draw





Another cat - this time an illustration by JVL from Aesop's Fables, Cape, 1989.
It happened to be a portrait of our own cat 'Ginny'.
