Beatrix Potter

British, 1866–1943

Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) était une auteure, illustratrice et scientifique naturelle anglaise, surtout appréciée pour ses contes enchanteurs pour enfants tels que L'Histoire de Pierre Lapin. Ses tendres aquarelles de lapins en gilet, de hérissons et de souris ont ravi des générations de lecteurs. Passionnée de nature, elle a également produit des études scientifiques accomplies sur les champignons et les plantes. Grâce à la fortune tirée de ses livres, elle est devenue une agricultrice et une conservatrice dévouée dans le Lake District, léguant finalement des milliers d'acres au National Trust britannique.
