Around 1900, photographer Horace Warner took a series of portraits of some of the poorest people in London creating relaxed, intimate images that gave dignity to his subjects and producing great photography that is without parallel in his era. This unique collection of pictures revolutionises our view of Londoners at the end of the nineteenth century, by bringing them startlingly close and permitting us to look them in the eye. Only seen by members of Warner s family for more than a century, almost all of these breathtaking photographs are published here for the first time.

Anyone that has a cat will recognise the truth of this tender account by The Gentle Author. "I was always disparaging of those who doted over their pets, as if this apparent sentimentality were an indicator of some character flaw. That changed when I bought a cat, just a couple of weeks after the death of my father. " Filled with sentiment yet never sentimental, THE LIFE & TIMES OF MR PUSSY is a literary hymn to the intimate relationship between humans and animals.
