Potter (Beatrix) The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, first edition, first or second printing, colour frontispiece, plain title vignette and 26 colour plates, pictorial endpapers, original green boards mounted colour illustration to upper cover, some very minor bumping to spine ends and corners, but a fine copy overall, [Linder p.426; Quinby 10], 16mo, 1906. ⁂ The inspiration for Jeremy Fisher came in part from the fishing trips of Beatrix Potter's father and the stories with which he would regale her upon his return. Potter had originally offered the story to Ernest Nister who had incorporated the drawings into their Holiday Annual 1896 (see lots 2 and 3). Following the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Potter purchased the drawings and blocks from Nister for £6 and eventually managed to publish her envisaged story around a decade after it was first proposed.
