Brooklyn Estate | Framed 8×10 inch Cat Print

A black cat walks uphill with a light, careful step. This print reproduces an original collage built from antique and vintage paper ephemera. The background layers 19th-century estate papers from Brooklyn, New York. A handwritten receipt for “sixty nine and 50/100 dollars” sits beside ledger notes on travel expenses and “preparation of account.” Below, a slope of World War II ration stamps forms the ground, marked “Coffee” and “Spare” in red, green, and black. The cat is cut from black-and-gold patterned paper, with a mosaic collar and ears.

The piece moves across two very different records of household life, from settling an estate to rationing coffee. It suits a study, a hallway, or a cat lover with a taste for history.

Giclée print on heavy fine art paper, from an original collage by Pittsburgh artist Emily Krill. Print size 8 x 10 inches. Framed in white, 9 x 11.25 inches. Ready to hang.
