It was executed on paper measuring 5 1/4” wide x 7 1/4” high and is in fine condition mounted and hinged on acid free board. The signature is lightly faded else fine. The image shows the surprised meeting of Peter and Mr. McGregor in the garden with Peter’s back to the reader and Mr. McGregor’s startled expression on his bearded face. The actual image measures 3 “ wide by 2 ½ “ high, and appears on page 38 of the first edition of the book. 1 inch below the image in Potter’s hand is written “Round the end of a cucumber frame / whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor! Beatrix Potter / Aug/ 1927”. Judy Taylor explains in her book Beatrix Potter (p. 167- 8) that Potter did a series of watercolors to raise money to ‘raise a fund to save a strip of foreshore woodland and meadow, near Windermere Ferry, from imminent risk of disfigurement by extensive building and town extension.’ Taylor adds that “Many of these pictures were sold in America...and within a year enough money had been raised.” She quotes Potter: ‘It was a great satisfaction to me to have been able to help the fund through the kindness of my friends in America... Whenever I cross the ferry and look at the pleasant green banks I will think of the good friends across a wider stretch of water.’ This is undoubtedly one of these watercolors done by Potter specially to be sold to help this fund, a few of which are in the V&A collection. It is a charming piece of original Potter artwork featuring Peter Rabbit. $22,500.00
