CAT COLLECTIBLES

Cat Collectibles is a rich book, which guides readers through the fascinating world of cats - from valuable antiques to modern objects which are readily available to help supplement or start a collection at little cost. It chronicles in detail the types of cats fanciers enjoy collecting. These include 18th-century Rockingham and Staffordshire cats, amusing 19th-century German "fairing" cat groups, American chalkware cats and the Austrian bronzes which have become so popular.

A colorful section on toys features Steiff cats and the work of Raphael Tuck and Ernest Nister. Many examples are shown of the work of revered cat artists Louis Wain, Harrison Weir and Lesley Anne Ivory, depicted on trays, greeting cards and calendars. The legends of characters such as Felix, Chessie, Garfield and Sylvester are captured, with • pictures of all our favorite heroes.

Includes a useful price-guide which gives values for all the cats in the book. Beautifully illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs from numerous private collections, Cat Collectibles is a book to treasure for the enthusiast and new collector alike.
