An albumen silver print cabinet card produced by C. Lannder of Ealing, W., whose imprint appears in white script along the left border of the dark grey mount, oriented vertically. The card is horizontally formatted, an oblong orientation consistent with the subject and composition, and the mount is a deep charcoal grey with no decorative printing. The image presents two long-haired kittens in a close bust-length composition set within a soft oval vignette against the cream ground of the photographic paper.
The two kittens are positioned side by side and face the camera, their thick fur rendered in fine detail. The smaller kitten on the left tilts its head slightly upward, its wide eyes directed above the lens, while the larger kitten on the right faces forward directly, its fuller ruff and broader face giving it a more settled presence. Both animals have prominent whiskers, alert ears, and the dense coat typical of a Persian or long-haired domestic breed.
The reverse is a plain dark grey board bearing several lines of handwritten inscription. The text reads "461," followed by a partially legible description including the words "Oblong" and "with border," then "A Study," followed by "Twin tones on one stem," and a final line reading "Cat f2, dot 1/62," likely indicating exposure or catalog notations made by the photographer or a contemporary collector.
