Since the XVI century plenty of prints have represented  cats, generally together with other people, more rarely represented alone.
One of the most interesting in this section is the the unusual portrait  of  an Albanian  Dgi -Guerdgi while feeding  cats  in  Constantinople Bazaar: The work is taken from  a "Collection of a hundred prints representing different Oriental nations" published in Paris in 1714.
Many more prints complete this interesting section, together with the Remondini's cat from Bassano, the representations alluding to the Russian Tzar and the prints taken from Buffon's "Natural History".
