      Ah, those simpler, more stylish times. We’d love the print, but what we really crave is the CHAIR. ;)

      True, sixty years later, finding one of those chairs in good condition would be a real jackpot! But, what a sweet and creative idea of the artist, a simple line drawing of a cat in repose, curved into the chair.
