The Dawn of Cat Photography

The advent of photography in the mid-19th century revolutionized the way we documented the world around us, including our beloved pets. With the invention of the daguerreotype in 1839, capturing images became more accessible, and cats, with their captivating personalities and curious nature, quickly became popular subjects.

Early cat photographs were often staged and posed, with cats dressed in elaborate costumes or posed in unnatural positions. However, as photography evolved, so too did the way cats were portrayed. Photographers began to capture more candid and natural moments, revealing the true personalities and charm of these enigmatic creatures.

A Window into the Past

The photographs in Catographics offer a fascinating window into the past, allowing us to observe the lives and relationships between cats and their human owners. We see cats lounging in the laps of society ladies, frolicking in gardens, and even posing proudly in front of the camera.
