SynopsisShortly after her marriage in 1913 Beatrix Potter became a member of the Armitt Library in Ambleside, Cumbria. This subscription library had been founded a year earlier by three sisters to create a collection of books of scientific, literary and antiquarian value that was intended eventually to become a small museum. Beatrix Potter strongly approved of the aims and ideals of the Armitt sisters, particularly their concern for the study of natural history and their active interest in safeguarding the Lake District countryside. She became a benefactor. Donating many valuable books and, most importantly, a large number of her own watercolour drawings. These pictures date from the years before she became a children's book author, while she was at the height of her artistic powers and concentrating on scientific illustration. They include studies of fossils, archaeological finds, mosses, lichens and many microscopic drawings. This book contains a number of her illustrations.

Any "Beatrix Potter" fan should have a copy of this book.
This book is fascinating to me. As interesting as a children's book writer and illustrator she was, I had no idea of her previous works, interest's and study of the natural world. Her botanical drawings, sketches and paintings are beautiful. This woman was extraordinary throughout her lifetime and this book helps to show what all she accomplished. Far more than Peter Rabbit and friends I would say.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
