One Foot in 1941

My name is Polly. I love film, especially classics from the Golden Era of Hollywood, all things vintage, books, nature, art and history. I love the life of the 1910's, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's.and 60's. Especially the 1930's & 40's.

    Black and white photo of a white woman in dark blouse with tiny white polka dots, cradling a shorthaired tuxedo tabby to her chest. The cat is snuggled into her neck and shoulder and wraps its paw around the top of her, hugging her with its eyes closed in perfect, loving bliss. It captures pure affection between the two of them.ALT

    This is one of my all-time favorites. 🥰 “Kirsti Moilanen with the cat Totti on her shoulder” 1920. Source.

    Very simple, clean illustration of a shorthaired white cat, sitting up but a little hunched and looking down. It fits beautifully in a square composition against a black background.ALT

    Sepia toned black and white photo of a young white man sitting in the prow of a boat, holding a fishing pole and looking out onto the water. Beside him sits a shorthaired tabby cat wearing a harness over its shoulders (presumably for safety) and looking in the same direction as the man.ALT

    Fishing cat! There’s no date but I’m guessing 1930s because of the type of paper it is printed on. Source.
