Sanya's Cat
I bought this print from Sanya Glisic and it looks even better in real life (as most things do). Via her etsy shop.
I featured Sanya's Struwwelpeter on 50 Watts last year.

Prosper's Caricatures
Three caricatures by the writer Prosper Mérimée (France, 1803-1870)
I came to the Walters Art Museum through the Scout Report through BibliOdyssey's tweet

"This caricature may allude to the 'Seven-League Boots,' which enable the wearer to take enormous strides as in 'Le Petit Pouchet (Hop o' My Thumb),' a fairy tale written by Charles Perrault (1628-1703)."
"A bizarre actor appears in a tutu, a female ballet costume."
"This caricature shows a fancifully attired soldier wearing a plumed bicorn hat."
