1921 Aldin Cats Cecil Humphrey Kitten Kittens Letter Milford Milk Puss Pusspuss Pussy Saucer Title
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting title page design by Cecil Aldin, titled "Puss Puss," was created for the Letter Book Series in 1921. The image features a charming white kitten, with its paws delicately placed on the edge of a saucer, taking a sip of milk. The kitten's expressive eyes and relaxed posture exude a sense of contentment and playfulness, making it an instant crowd-pleaser. Cecil Aldin (1874-1935), a renowned English illustrator and painter, was known for his depictions of animals and children. His works often captured the innocence and joy of childhood, as well as the playful antics of animals. This design for the Letter Book Series is no exception. The Letter Book Series was a popular publication during the 1920s, and Aldin's illustrations added to its appeal. The use of a white kitten as the central image on the title page was a clever marketing strategy, as it was sure to capture the attention of readers, particularly children. The design is reminiscent of the 1920s, with its simple yet elegant typography and muted color palette. The illustration of the kitten drinking milk from a saucer is a common motif in children's literature and art, and it continues to be a popular image to this day. This title page design by Cecil Aldin is a charming and nostalgic reminder of a bygone era, when life was simpler, and the world was a little more magical. It is a testament to Aldin's talent as an illustrator and his ability to capture the essence of childhood and the natural world.
