Perce Blackborow and Mrs.ChippyAnother Endurance piece!! Here is a redraw of a photo of Perce Blackborow and Mrs.Chippy.
(Original photo: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mrschippy.jpg)
Blackborow wasn't initially part of Shackleton's expedition to Antarctica, and hid onboard as a stowaway for a few days. When he was discovered, Shackleton was angry, but then allowed him to stay.
Mrs.Chippy was Harry 'Chippy' McNish's (the ship carpenter) cat. Despite his name being Mrs.Chippy, he was actually a male cat.Feb 1, 2024

What a pair! Oh, I just love how this looks, especially with the texture and strong shapes. Nice work on the pose! It's a great execution. Hah, I love how charming it feels, too! The little smile, the clothes.. and the little feet gesture! A wonderful piece, Anoona!
