"C was a lovely pussy cat; its eyes were large and pale.
And on its back it had some stripes, and several on its tail."
One of 26 drawings depicting a nonsense alphabet. Each features an illustration, the letter in capital and small size in both Roman and copperplate style, and humorous verse. These drawings were made in Northern Italy about 1880 for Charles Geffrard Pirouet, then a small boy staying at the same hotel as the artist.
