Unknown Artist, early 20th century

Woodblock print; ink and color on paper; with printed inscription of a poem reading from right to left: "Ci mao shenshi mengyong/ Liangyan qiasi (ling?) long/ Si zhua youru gangcha/ Laoshu bu gan cheng xiong" ("This cat is so fierce/ Two eyes are like gems/ Four claws are like steel sickles/ Rats dare not show off"), and a color printed inscription in purple: "Chi Ling" ("Imperial Edict").
