About Beatrix Potter: The Tale of a Natural Artist
On July 28, 1866, Beatrix Potter was born in London, and the world gained one of its most quietly extraordinary artists. She filled sketchbooks with meticulous studies of fungi, fossils, and small creatures long before Peter Rabbit ever slipped under a garden gate. When she finally put her art into print, the Lake District countryside, rolling fields, mossy stone walls, and the particular hush of an English wood, became as much a character in her stories as any waistcoated rabbit or nervous hedgehog.
