(MILNE, A.A.) SHEPARD, E. H.
Original drawing "There's a Dark Dead Water-Wheel Under the Mill".
Original artwork illustrating "There's a dark dead water-wheel under the mill" from the poem "Come Out With Me" on page 56 of Now We Are Six and also used as the frontispiece to the US large paper edition. Initialled by the artist on the lower left and with his pencilled caption beneath the image. Also signed and addressed on the verso by the illustrator. Shepard sold his original Pooh drawings through The Sporting Gallery, Covent Garden, in 1928, and this piece comes together with the original backing and label from that exhibition. Provenance: from the collection of Pat McInally.
Pen and ink drawing, heightened with whitening, on Aquarelle drawing board (210 × 145 mm). Mounted, glazed, and framed. Toning from previous mount to edges. Excellent condition.
