A propos de cet article

First Edition of 'A Happy Pair' the first publication to feature illustrations by Beatrix Potter. In her mid twenties, and with the encouragement of her Uncle Henry, an admirer of her work, Beatrix decided to approach a number of publishers with illustrations of her pet rabbit, Benjamin Bouncer (usually referred to as Bounce) which could be used for greetings cards. After an initial rejection the pictures were snapped up by Hildesheimmer & Faulkner, with payment of £6 and a request to see more of her work. Some were used as Christmas or New Years cards and six chromolithographed pictures (one repeated on the front cover) were printed alongside poems by lyricist Frank E. Weatherly in the small booklet, 'A Happy Pair'. The illustrations depict dressed bunnies, in coats, capes, aprons or smocks on various errands and jaunts and are somewhat more Victorian in style than her later work. This comes partially from the chromolithograph printing process, and also in that they are perhaps a bridge between her earlier technical natural history studies and her own playfully inventive little animals situated within carefully studied scenes. Few copies of 'A Happy Pair' still exist and they might have remained unidentified forever if it were not for the initials on each image (H. B. P.), as well as the appearance of Benjamin Bunny, on a station platform waiting for his train amongst his piles of luggage.
