The Great Latrino was returning in triumph!
For four years he had been touring the globe, conducting
sell out performances of his phenomenally successful operas.
His cat Cherubini, the only memento of home he now kept, had ascended from
stringy alley cat to sleek-furred feline cat-about-town.
His caterwauling transformed to a melodious basso howl.
The Italian-born composer Luigi Cherubini was known for his dramatic operas,
sharp tongue and compulsive orderliness.
The top hat this dapper cat hides in doesn’t seem to belong to
the composer though. The “10/6” indicates that it belongs to the Mad Hatter from
“Alice in Wonderland.” On the interior, a carrot and
footprints indicate the White Rabbit has passed this way.
1.6" wide, 1.9" long, 2.9" high.
As with any hand-tinted product,
unique variations should be expected.
