Published in 1990 by Bulfinch Press / Little, Brown and Company, The Cat in Photography, edited by art historian and curator Sally Eauclaire, is an overview of feline portraiture across 150 years of photographic history.

The volume features works by over 100 photographers, tracing the evolution of the subject from mid-19th-century daguerreotypes and Victorian family portraits to modern fine art, fashion, and documentary work. The publication includes studies by masters such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertész, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Ruth Bernhard, Edward Weston, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, and Robert Capa. Organized around thematic variations—ranging from domestic companions and street strays to symbolic and humorous interpretations—Eauclaire’s commentary examines how artists have utilized the feline subject to explore form, light, human behavior, and visual metaphor throughout the history of the medium.
