Earliest Known Picture Letter from Beatrix Potter 1892


These picture letters were written from her seaside vacation to Beatrix Potter's 4 year old nephew with pictures and words he could easily understand. Click on the link called "via" below each picture to see it full size and read further in The Morgan Library & Museum's description. It's so interesting to see the actual penmanship written with a dip pen and see the places where the ink was running low.





Enjoy this delightful glimpse into the life of our favorite author and illustrator.


Isn't this green book Christmas Tree the best?
