On January 26, 1901, Beatrix Potter’s beloved Peter Rabbit passed away.
Potter’s touching epitaph:In affectionate remembrance of poor old Peter Rabbit, who died on the 26th of January 1901 at the end of his 9th year … whatever the limitations of his intellect or outward shortcomings of his fur, and his ears and toes, his disposition was uniformly amiable and his temper unfailingly sweet. An affectionate companion and a quiet friend.
You can see this and other Beatrix Potter picture letters in the Morgan Library and Museum’s Beatrix Potter exhibition in November. (via The Morgan Library and Museum Wall Photos)
