Writing in his book Wall and Piece, Banksy explained his preoccupation with rats, noting "if you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model." Their underdog status explains why the rodents are such a frequent motif in the artist's work, most recently appearing on the London Underground in a pandemic-themed extravaganza featuring hand sanitiser and big sneezes. Created in 2004, Love Rat is an early Banksy edition that's very much in demand.
