82. POTTER, HELEN BEATRIX Potter, HELEN Beatrix. Mycologist, writer (1866 1943). She was the first child of Rupert and Helen Leech Potter, born July 28, 1866 in London, England. http://www.astr.ua.edu/4000WS/POTTER.html

POTTER, HELEN BEATRIX Mycologist, writer (1866 - 1943) She was the first child of Rupert and Helen Leech Potter, born July 28, 1866 in London, England. She is known today for her wonderful children's stories. Just about everyone is familiar with the tale of Peter Rabbit. During her later years she was widely respected throughout England as an expert on fungi, although the Royal Society did refuse to publish at least one of her technical papers. From many walks in the woods she amassed a set of detailed watercolors of fungi. The collection (some 270 completed by 1901) is in the Armitt Library, Ambleside, England. Around the time of her death in 1943 many of her notes, including her paper on spores, were burned during the bombing of London in WWII. She kept a private journal which wasn't published until 1966. The reason for this is that it was written in a code of her own invention. The code was broken by Leslie Linder, an engineer. Once the code was broken it took him seven years to decipher Beatrix Potter's journal. In the journal she details her attempts to have her theories and drawings noticed, usually to no avail. Perhaps if Beatrix Potter hadn't been so shy and if the male scientists at the Royal Botanical Gardens hadn't been so dismissive we would not have her legacy of Peter Rabbit.

Home Page Accommodation Activities Attractions ... Lakeland Weather Beatrix Potter 1866 - 1943 BEATRIX POTTER was born in London in 1866 and lived until 1943. Her love of the countryside stemmed from her childhood holidays in the Lake District. In the 19th Century, there was no formal education for girls and Victorian values also forbid her to become a farmer. When Beatrix was young she had various animals as pets, which she made drawings of, whilst watching them. During the summer months she would go to Scotland with her parents for a 3 month holiday. When she was [16] they could not go to Scotland because the house they usually rented was not available. Therefore, her parents decided to go to the Lake District and stayed at Wray Castle near Ambleside. Beatrix became friends with the vicar, Cannon H. Rawnsley of Wray Church, who would later encourage Beatrix to publish her first book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". Cannon H. Rawnsley would become one of the co-founders of the National Trust, in the hope of preserving the natural beauty of the Lake District.

Randolph Caldecott's illustrations influenced Beatrix Potter Beatrix Potter (1866 - 1943) is famous for her illustrated children's story books, starting with The Tale of Peter Rabbit . But the idea of depicting animals dressed, and behaving, like humans, may have come from Randolph Caldecott's earlier illustrated books of nursery rhymes . (This is not to say that Caldecott was the first to do this: see for example " The Dogs' Grand Dinner Party ", published in New York, USA, in 1869. Our thanks to www.marchhousebooks.com for the picture of this, below. Beatrix Potter's father was active in the art world (the painter Millais was a family friend), and bought the whole set of original pictures by Randolph Caldecott which had been used to produce The Three Jovial Huntsmen , and, in 1884, two of the original pictures for A Frog he Would A'Wooing Go An original oil painting by Randolph (with two pictures: one on the front, and another on the back), together with two other prints from his Picture Books, still hang in Beatrix Potter's house, Hill Top, in Near Sawrey, Lake District, England.

skip to: page content site navigation HOME CLASSIFIEDS ... e SHOPPING Sun 11 Sep 2005 Beatrix Potter HELEN Beatrix Potter - author of the Peter Rabbit and Squirrel Nutkin books - was 16 when she first visited the English Lake District. But from then on it was a love affair that continued until her death aged 77 in late 1943. Beatrix was born on July 28, 1866 in South Kensington, London. Her parents lived in a large house with several servants and she was cared for by a nurse, only seeing her mother and father at bedtimes and on special occasions. Her brother Bertram was born when she was six and they were taught at home by a governess until Bertram was old enough to go to school. Beatrix stayed at home where she was encouraged to read and write and taught music and art. She had many animals as pets, which she studied and made drawings of. Overprotective, her parents discouraged friendships with other children, so instead, the young Potters collected a number of animals - at one stage they had a green frog, two lizards and a ring snake. To many, Beatrix seemed shy and reserved due to her limited contact with other people but her journal, started when she was 15 and written in her own code, revealed an outgoing woman with critical opinions of the artists, writers and politicans of the day.
