The Cat and Venus, Mice in Council 1908

"The Cat and Venus, Mice in Council" is an illustration from a book by English artist Walter Crane (1845-1915), created in 1908. The image features two panels. The top panel depicts a story about a cat and Venus who are getting married, but the cat is transformed into a mouse. The bottom panel is a comical scene showing mice in council about how to deal with a cat. The visual style of this illustration is typical of Crane's work, which is characterized by bold lines, flat colors, and decorative details. He was a prolific artist and illustrator, known for his work in the Arts and Crafts Movement. This illustration is a good example of his use of satire and humor in his work.
