Anita White Devon Drawings
In 1980, Anita White of Anglo-Tex cattery wrote an article on Devon and Cornish Rex head and body
types for the TICA Yearbook. Included in this article were a number of drawings of correct and
incorrect head type of the Devon and Cornish. These drawings have endured through the years, and
still remain the definitive reference on Devon Rex head type - a testiment to the enduring look
and vision of the Devon Rex. These drawings have been reproduced in several
forms and fashion including, notably, in an article by Ann Gibney (Scattergold Cattery) for the
1986 CFA Yearbook where shading was added by Ms. White to clarify the difference between correct and
incorrect profiles. Ms. White has graciously provided her permission for us to reproduce her drawings here.
In order to take better advantage of the medium at hand, significant scaling and rotating of some of
the drawings was necessary to allow an rough animation between each improper example and the properly
proportioned illustration. Although great care was taken not to change any proportions and angles
in this process, any errors or changes of substance introduced in this process are the fault of the
author of this page, and not that of Ms. White. Quotations next to each illustration are from Ms. White's
artwork. Other text is the author's interpretation of Ms. White's text, not actual quotations from any
of the articles which have accompanied the sketches over time.
