Among the most popular works in the British Museum's prints and drawings collection are the complete watercolours by the children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter (1866– 1943) for The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies. Beatrix Potter was born and raised in London, the eldest child of parents who had both inherited Lancashire cotton fortunes. Her father Rupert, a qualified barrister, married her mother Helen in 1863. They left their family roots in the industrial Midlands to live in a large house in the exclusive area of South Kensington, London. It was here, at number two Bolton Gardens, that Beatrix Potter was born in July 1866 and raised in an affluent Victorian household complete with maids, cooks, butlers and nursemaids.
