EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the bustling atmosphere of The National Cat Show at the Crystal Palace, held on 29 and 30 October. Created by artist Ralph Cleaver in 1901, this print showcases a vibrant scene filled with aristocrats, pussy cats, and eager spectators. The Crystal Palace is adorned with sketches and catalogues as visitors eagerly await the judging of their favorite feline companions. Siamese twins and Bombay cats are among the favorites exhibited at this prestigious event. As lazy kittens lounge around, the public marvels at these majestic creatures. In this snapshot of London's high society, we catch a glimpse of an exclusive world where cat shows serve as a platform for aristocracy to showcase their prized pets. The exhibition attracts exhibitors from all over India including Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), adding an exotic touch to the event. Through Cleaver's detailed engraving technique, we witness how cat shows have become not only a display of beauty but also a symbol of status within aristocratic circles. This image offers us insight into Indian culture during that era when societies were fascinated by Asian influences. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate this historical artwork that captures both the elegance of these magnificent felines and the opulence surrounding them at The National Cat Show in London's Crystal Palace.
