A Weak End: A Humorous Scene of Anthropomorphic Cats in a Rowing Boat on a Choppy Sea (William Henry Ellam, 1914) This delightful and humorous print by English artist William Henry Ellam, dated 1914, depicts an amusing scene of three anthropomorphic cats in a rowing boat on a choppy sea. The cats, each with expressive faces and distinct personalities, are fully clothed and determinedly rowing against the rough waters. However, the cat in the middle of the boat appears to be feeling the brunt of the seasickness, with a pained expression and a hand clutching his stomach. His companions, seemingly unfazed by the turbulent waters, continue to row with focus and determination. The title of the print, "A Weak End," adds to the humor of the scene, as it can be interpreted in multiple ways. It could refer to the cats' weakened state due to seasickness, or it could be a playful nod to the end of their rowing journey. The use of anthropomorphic cats adds a whimsical touch to the scene, making it a charming and entertaining piece of art. William Henry Ellam was a prolific English artist known for his humorous and satirical illustrations. This print is a testament to his ability to capture the human condition, even in the form of anthropomorphic animals. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, making it a delightful addition to any collection.
