The Alphabet

Alternatives for the Letters A & T

I wonder if there are any more variations and what made Louis Wain so undecided about the trade for the cat bearing the letter T?

A the letters H and I are missing from this compilation I assumed (wrongly! oh the perils of making assumptions) that both were available as separate illustrations. I have now found and replaced the poor image of the letter H that I had with a far superior version which I found on David Brass Rare Books and am eternally grateful to him for allowing me to complete the Alphabet Book. David Brass reproduced the entire book including the meticulous front and end pages and some surprising alternatives which I can now also feature!
