| Date | 1890 |
| Description | Robbing the Orchard by Louis Wain |
| Details |
An unusual illustration by Louis Wain, more usually known for his cat drawings, showing a group of children stealing apples from an orchard. Interestingly, Wain has drawn the children in the style of Kate Greenaway, another ILN contributor. Wain was able to turn his hand to drawing a wide variety of subjects prior to the fame he achieved with his feline creations. Sadly his growing obsession with cats turned to insanity and he died penniless in a mental asylum in 1939.
