He was obsessed with drawing cats and when the demand for them eventually diminished he was not able to come to terms with the situation. He had heavy family commitments, but no one would buy his work. His mind failed and he was admitted in poverty to a mental hospital. He died in 1939.
A great account of his rather sad life packed with interesting illustrations.
