Harry Whittier Frees — the original cat meme photographer, over a century before the internet made it cool. Born in 1879 in Reading, Pennsylvania, Frees spent decades dressing kittens, puppies, and rabbits in tiny costumes and posing them in hilarious human situations — creating the adorable, irresistible kitten photo art that would inspire everything from novelty postcards to modern-day LOLcats. As Frees himself wrote: “The kitten is the most versatile animal actor, and possesses the greatest variety of appeal.” His charming animal photo work appeared in Life Magazine, children’s books, and postcard collections across America. These are the trendy printables that prove cute kittens never go out of style — pure kitsch cat art with a vintage soul.
