Cats have been a source of inspiration and an object of veneration in many of the world's great civilisations. They are represented in stone and metalwork, ceramics and ivory, as well as in works of art on paper from both east and west. This little book of feline masterpieces from the British Museum reveals the cat in in all its guises, wild or domestic, ancient or modern.
Each title describes and illustrates a range of objects, with a brief description of the object, provenance and history.
