Lot Details
black and white glass eyes and hunched back. H.300mm. Note: Felix the Cat is a cartoon character that was created in the silent film era, first appearing in a 1919 cartoon Feline Follies, although he didn't get his name until the third cartoon he appeared in. He was a massive success, bringing people into the cinema to see his new short cartoons, which were released every two weeks. The owner of the film studio, and copyright of the characters created by his animators, Pat Sullivan, made $100,000 from licensing the Felix character in 1923. His image was made into soft toys, such as this one, and graced objects such as ceramics, toy figures and postcards.
