Über das Werk
Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors and illustrators. She wrote the majority of the twenty-three Original Peter Rabbit Books between 1901 and 1913. The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Frederick Warne, 1902) is her most famous and best-loved tale.
At first publishers rejected Beatrix Potter’s manuscript of ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Mr. McGregor’s Garden’ so she decided to publish the story herself in an edition of 250 copies with black and white illustrations and a colour frontispiece. By the time her privately printed edition was published in December 1901 Frederick Warne had agreed to publish the story the following year as ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’, the version with colour illustrations that many of us know today.

These sketches were made while Potter was developing illustrations for the privately printed edition of the book: the sheet is covered in sketches of rabbits made from various angles, while the more developed sketch on the left shows Mrs Rabbit with her basket. The sheet gives a sense of how Potter’s rabbit characters developed from sketches made of her pets from life.
