Dressed Cats by Eugen Hartung

  Eugen Hartung (1897–1973) was a Swiss painter. He is well known for his paintings of anthropomorphic cats. These postcards normally illustrate settings that are filled with action, often with a minor disaster just about to occur. While the dressed cats were by far the most popular and most plentiful cards, Hartung also painted other dressed animals - primarily mice, dogs, and hedgehogs. 

These cards were sent to me by sister in 1989
