Shepard's Pen Drawings

In 1969 Shepard donated three hundred of his preliminary sketches to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, where they were exhibited in 1969. By those beautifuls stood often notes of Shepard and quotations from the stories. In the book "The complete book of Winnie the Pooh"are next to the more knowlegde colourillustrations many of those drawings from the collection.

These are a few of Shepards first provisional draughts. There is one of Christopher Robins teddybear, the real Winnie the Pooh. Eventually Shepard choose the teddy of his son Graham as model of Winnie.
