V&A Day 2: Beatrix Potter

A special exhibit on Beatrix Potter cost me, and I was under whelmed. For the price I wanted a little more. On the other hand, I was charmed by the minute paintings she made. I had no idea they started out that tiny. Minuscule! None were larger than a page from a normal paperback. Some were smaller. 



Peter Rabbit



Owl and squirrel. 


And tiny sewing kit - for a doll. There’s no sense of scale in the photos. 

Ms Potter also decided her little books needed special end papers. The characters on the end papers changed as new characters were introduced.
