Joan and David de Bethel - Papier Mache Cat
Joan and David de Bethel
Papier Mache Cat with Glass Eyes (dated 1963)
A Victorian engraved print depicting two millers singing has been cut and pasted onto the back of the cat. In-between the two millers a poem has been written with a fine brush which reads: "There Was A Jolly Miller - And He Lived By Himself - As The Wheel Went Round - He Made His Wealth" old song.
A further inscription on the base reads: Made by Joan and David de Bethel in the County Town of Lewes Sussex 1963
All cats by Joan and David are unique and from this early period they are particularly uncommon.
Joan and David first started to make cats as an alternative source of income from around 1960. Originally the first cats were made with layered paper over a chicken wire base until demand increased and they were replaced with papier Mache taken from a mould. The cats became increasingly popular and were sold through outlets in the UK and America. David would make the body of the cats and finish them off with varnish after Joan had decorated them. In 1977 David died and the cats changed in production from papier Mache to ceramic. Joan died in 2017 in Thornwood, Bexhill.
