Full of Fun" is a color chromolithograph from about 1898 with cats at its center, a subject that appeared often in the commercial art of the late 1890s. Chromolithography used a separate stone or plate for each color, so a single sheet could carry many hues and was cheap enough to reach ordinary households as wall decoration. The print carries a copyright notice naming Muller, Luchsinger & Co., a detail that links it to the era's copyright registrations and helps date its publication. Its playful title reflects the lighthearted tone that made animal scenes popular with buyers of the period.
