About the Item

Title: "Cat and Kittens, 1809 Hand-Colored Etching by Samuel Howitt" Description: This hand-colored etching, titled "Cat and Kittens," was created by Samuel Howitt and published in 1809 by Edward Orme, London, as part of Groups of Animals, a collection of 44 exquisite etched plates. The print depicts a serene domestic scene featuring a mother cat seated attentively while her playful kittens explore their surroundings. The detailed texture of their fur and the lifelike setting reflect Howitt's masterful skill in capturing the behavior and essence of animals. Samuel Howitt, a prominent British artist of the early 19th century, was known for his remarkable ability to combine scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. This engraving highlights his dedication to portraying animals in naturalistic poses, making it both a scientific and decorative work. Published by Edward Orme, this print exemplifies the Georgian era’s fascination with natural history and domestic life. It remains a charming representation of animal art from the period.
