A History of the Writings of Beatrix Potter Including Unpublished Work. London: Warne & Co Ltd, [Second edition 1971]. Presentation copy “For Doris Frohnsdorff/with best wishes/from Leslie Linder/December 9th 1972” Second edition. Octavo (9 1/4 x 6 1/2 inches: 235 x 165 mm.). xxvi, [1-3], 4-446 pp. With over seventy illustrations in color and over fifty black & white illustrations. Publisher's red rexine over boards, front cover with gilt "lion", spine lettered in gilt. A near fine copy. Loosely inserted are six black & white photographs of three illustrated Beatrix Potter autograph letters dated Jan 13th 99; January 26th 1900; April 24th 1900. With black and white photograph of Beatrix Potter. Leslie Linder (1904-1973), scholar and collector. He studied and collected Beatrix Potter's work at a time when little was known of the artist. His ground-breaking books on Potter's art and writings are still in use today and remain a tribute to his scholarship. Later, he used his large collection to promote the artist's work in the UK and abroad, revealing to the world Potter's multi-faceted talent beyond her storybooks. Perhaps Linder's most significant achievement was to decipher Potter's journal, which she had written in code. When it was finally published in 1966, The Journal of Beatrix Potter was a revelation, uncovering a young woman's reflections on life and her dry sense of humour. A History of the Writings of Beatrix Potter (1971) has remained the standard work since it's publication. On his death in 1973, he left the V&A his unrivalled personal collection of about 2,400 Beatrix Potter drawings, manuscripts and books (many of which were first editions owned by Beatrix or her family), as well as photographs by her father Rupert and a few personal effects. Doris Helen Frohnsdorff (1933-2022), was an active member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA) during the 1970s and '80s, issuing catalogues regularly and participating in book fairs throughout North America and the United Kingdom. Her unparalleled collection of Beatrix Potter first editions, artwork, letters, and other rare material drew international interest when it was sold at Christie's East in New York in 1997. .
