Harry Whittier Frees (1879–1953) was an American photographer who created novelty postcards and children’s books based on his photographs of taxidermied animals. He dressed the animals and posed them in human situations with props often with captions; these can be seen as progenitors of modern lolcats.Frees was born in Reading Pennsylvania in 1879 after which his family moved to Oaks Pennsylvania where he did his famous works.
