This is a Beautiful Book

By BookBev

from Mobile, Alabama

Comments about The Cat in Art:

This beautiful book is both an art book of cats and a history book of cats. It starts with art in the 16th century and continues through the 20th century. The relationship between cats and people is beautifully illustrated through the artwork of the masters and lesser known artists. A perfect gift for the cat lover.
