Her scheme allowed readers of the American Magazine 'The Horn Book' to contribute to the fund by donating fifty new 'Peter Rabbit' drawings for sale at a guinea each. The present drawing is one of this group.⠀ .⠀ 'It was a great satisfaction to me to have been able to help the fund through the kindness of my friends in America' wrote Potter when enough money had been raised to save the land from being built upon.⠀ .⠀ Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). 'Peter Rabbit and Mr McGregor', 1927. Estimate: £15,000-20,000.⠀ .⠀ British & European Art Online, 7-29 July.⠀ .⠀ #beatrixpotter #britishart #britishauthor #thetaleofpeterrabbit #childrensbook #illustration」7月27日 0時26分
