Cats are the subject of this chromolithograph, titled *Full of fun*, and its lighthearted mood fits the animal scenes that filled American homes in the late 1890s. Chromolithography built color by printing layer after layer from separate lithographic stones, a costly process that became more affordable in the 1880s and 1890s. The record notes a U.S. copyright entry in the name of Muller, Luchsinger & Co., which shows the design was registered as a published work under copyright law. Domestic animal subjects like this one were popular with buyers who wanted charming, inexpensive color art for the home.
