My, what tiny feet the prince has!
In reply to your previous commenter, about the princes small feet, that – small feet- were traditionally considered more elegant, not sure why, perhaps feet were considered too functional or something. But it’s true- think of those dainty leather shoes Italian men like to squeeze their feet into, and even what the Chinese used to do to women’s feet. Fashion!
Tiny feet, but a big hat!

Well, he is certainly a fashionable cavalier for her ladycat. 🙂
Yes, but he cuts her head off in the next illustration. Should I post that soon? Or should I let people forget about this nice kissing prince?
