Helen Beatrix Potter Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Illustrator, b. 1866 - d. 1943

Born in London in 1866, Helen Beatrix Potter had a love of the natural world that led to the development of her art. Beatrix Potter's fascination with the plants she drew led her to study at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, where she honed her skills in scientific illustration art. Beatrix Potter studied at the National Art Training School.

In 1902, Beatrix Potter published the first of her children’s books, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, followed by dozens of other books, including The Tale of Benjamin Bunny and The Tale of Tom Kitten. She also created merchandise based on her books, including games, toys, and dolls, and offered her illustration art for sale, all helping to increase the value of Beatrix Potter books. She passed away in 1943. Beatrix Potter's drawings and books are found alongside other valuable written works in galleries of rare children's books worldwide.

                Est: £200 - £300

                Potter (Beatrix).- [Jeremy Fisher], 3 photogravure illustrations from Jeremy Fisher, copper steel-faced oval plates on a rectangular plaque, ?other plates removed from wooden blocks, nailed on to wooden boards, some scratching and wear to plates, plates 73 x 85mm., wooden boards 184 x 102mm., [?near contemporary to 1906]. *** The three plates illustrated Jeremy Fisher tying his boat to a water-plant, his first catching of the stickleback and the enormous Trout swimming through the water with Fisher's legs visibly protruding from this mouth.  It is conceivable that the copper of these plates has been steel-faced at a later stage to help it withstand longer runs. Support for a relatively early date in the history of the three-colour photomechanical process comes from the fairly primitive mounting of the plates. Similar (perhaps identical) plates have been removed from the other half of the three wooden blocks, probably duplicates. Later on in the development of photomechanical printing in relief, copper plates would have been mounted down on special metal supports by major printers (and in the case of a small popular publication many side by side rather than just two). Printing just two plates for the same publication side by side (assuming that this was the case) would also point to an earlier rather than late date, as does the naming of the colour on the plates themselves (which was a hangover from the earlier colour-printing methods when a dozen or so colour blocks would have been used for a colour print – and there may well have been confusion). Even if the plates/blocks are early, they could have continued in use for half a century or more..

                Jun. 13, 2024

                Potter (Beatrix) The Tale of Peter Rabbit, first trade edition, deluxe issue, Frederick Warne and Co., London & New York, [1902].

                Est: £150 - £200

                Potter (Beatrix) The Tale of Peter Rabbit, first trade edition, deluxe issue with 'wept big tears' on p.51 and bound in mustard-yellow cloth rather than paper boards, half-title, leaf-pattern endpapers, 31 full-page colour illustrations by Potter, small ink ownership inscription to front free endpaper, a few abrasion marks, pp.58-9 and 66-7 stuck together, p.80 with short marginal tear, gutter cracked and weak, final leaf becoming detached, contents shaken, lacking pp.9-10 and pp.15-16, lacking rear free endpaper, lower hinge broken, original mustard-yellow cloth with mounted colour illustration on upper cover, t.e.g., slightly rubbed and soiled, [Linder p.421, Quinby 2], 16mo, London & New York, Frederick Warne and Co. [1902]. *** Rare deluxe issue of the first trade edition of the first book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. Originally published in two privately printed editions of 250 and 200 copies (December 1901 and February 1902, respectively), this first trade edition was the first in which all of Potter's designs are printed in color. Leslie Linder records that 2000 copies from the first printing of 8000 were issued in "green cloth, light green cloth or olive-green cloth". This mustard-yellow cloth variant is therefore unrecorded by Linder, making it perhaps the rarest of the different deluxe issues of Peter Rabbit.

                Potter (Beatrix) Complete set of four original illustrations for the nursery rhyme, 'This pig went to market', four illustrations on three sheets, the first sheet 'This Pig went to Market/ This Pig staid at home', the second with 'This Pig had a bit of Meat;' [together with] 'And this Pig had none!', and the third 'This little Pig cried "Wee! Wee! Wee! I can't find my way home!", pen and black ink, traces of pencil under-drawing, watercolour, heightened with touches of white, on wove paper, each sheet approx. 225 x 285 mm (8 3/4 x 11 1/4 in), under glass, minor spotting and surface dirt, uniformly framed, circa 1890 (3) *** The only complete set of illustrations by the artist for a nursery rhyme, known to have survived. The present set were originally drawn by Beatrix Potter in the 1890s for her cousin, Stephanie Hyde-Parker. In 1922, with encouragement by Anne Carroll Moore of New York Public Library, Potter decided to publish a book of nursery rhymes, chiefly comprised from old drawings with a few alterations and additions. The present works were used as the basis for her illustrations of the rhyme in Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes, though these contained several alterations, most notably the reversal of the final drawing.  "This picture is of special interest as it shows the famous Hill Top pony and trap. The pony's name was "Dolly", whilst the stay-at-home pig was "Old Sallie", who used to open the garden gate, and follow her mistress about , and search in her pocket for apples" - Quinby p.115.
