Hello, everyone. Would you subscribe to Harry Whittier Frees now if he had a KZbin channel with these cat photos? I came across Frees's photographs quite accidentally and couldn't believe that they're from over 100 years ago! And I tried to find more information on him and realized that it was scant at best. There appears to be a slight renewed interest (maybe following an NPR article on him in 2016) eight years ago but I couldn't find much info on him. I know there wasn't a huge individual "branding" back then like now...and without an immediate family to help carry his legacy, it seems like Frees just got forgotten. But how relevant are these photos now?! Okay, some are a wee bit creepy, I admit, and some of his captions are definitely old-timey but...I had to highlight this man and his work to the modern day audience. So, please enjoy this video and share it and remember that they were ancestors to LOLcats and Nyancats and all the other lovely cats out there in the spotlight, thanks to Mr. Frees.

A staple of my childhood. His work was featured in Ideal magazines in the 1950's.
