  1. Wonderful fun postcards of cat musicians, and the first one even shows the jazz cats playing against a brick wall! :)

  5. Clever postcards. The phrase "the cat and the fiddle" probably predates its use in the nursery rhyme. The imagery is fun but I suspect the origin comes from very old nautical slang in the days of sailing ships.

  6. Great collection of illustrations! Particularly love the last card with typically French instruments.
