Freaky Victorian Age

At first glance this wonderful lithographed picture is kinda cool, a beautiful child with her kitty. But closer inspection turns this into a strange comment on the era. Angry face on the cat being held by her neck, disproportionate hand and melancholy look of the "child."  Or maybe she is a woman made to look like a child?  Then when I read the title, it even gets a bit creepy.  I think I will stop looking too closely... at least today.
