About This Item
VG+. A single proof sheet of the replacement colour illustrations for The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, replacing illustrations lost by the publisher. One quarter of the sheet has been excised. The illustrations are numbered as per the original 85 page format. According to Linder, Beatrix Potter recalled 'Some B Bunny's were temporarily mislaid and I supplied three or four new ones for fresh blocks, duplicates, very little to the originals.' He goes on to write: 'With the exception of the picture where "little Benjamin Bunny slid down into the road, and set off with a hop, skip and a jump", in which the figure of Benjamin Bunny was larger in the new picture, and also the drawing if the cat, whose tail had been shortened, the redrawn pictures were practically the same as the old ones. [Linder p147] A scarce item. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
