In 1866, Beatrix Potter was born in London to Mancunian parents. She had a great interest in the natural sciences, but her career in academia was stalled. However, her detailed and accurate drawings of fungi are still admired and used today. Her children’s books grew out of the imaginative letters she sent to the children of her former governess. She wrote and drew the series from the beginning of the twentieth century until the end of World War I, when she turned her attention to sheep farming on her land in the Lake District. After her death in 1943, she left her lands to the National Trust, where they are still enjoyed by daytrippers and holidaymakers today. Helen Beatrix Potter ( / ˈ b iː ə t r ɪ k s/, [1] 28 July 1866–22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist. She is best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was her first commercially published work in 1902. Her books, including 23 Tales, have sold more than 250 million copies. [2] [3] An entrepreneur, Potter was a pioneer of character merchandising. [4] In 1903, Peter Rabbit was the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy, making him the oldest licensed character. [5] Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes - Beatrix Potter loved nursery rhymes, and planned a collection of them as the follow-up to The Tale of Peter Rabbit. However, after her editor and fiancé Norman Warne died in 1905, the project was set aside. When her publisher faced financial ruin in 1917, the book was resurrected, and remains a classic for the very young.

[91] [94] In 2017, The Art of Beatrix Potter: Sketches, Paintings, and Illustrations by Emily Zach was published after San Francisco publisher Chronicle Books decided to mark the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter's birth by showing that she was "far more than a 19th-century weekend painter. She was an artist of astonishing range." [95] In her teenage years, Potter was a regular visitor to the art galleries of London, particularly enjoying the summer and winter exhibitions at the Royal Academy in London. [53] Her Journal reveals her growing sophistication as a critic as well as the influence of her father's friend, the artist Sir John Everett Millais, who recognised Potter's talent of observation. Although Potter was aware of art and artistic trends, her drawing and her prose style were uniquely her own.
