Winnie the Pooh in the rain (1920s) | EH Shepard

Embrace the cozy charm of a rainy day in the Hundred Acre Wood with this delightful art print of Winnie the Pooh sitting on a tree branch in the rain, beautifully illustrated by E.H. Shepard. Taken from A.A. Milne's beloved stories published in the 1920s, this image perfectly captures Pooh's gentle nature and his simple appreciation for the world around him, even in less-than-perfect weather. Shepard's distinctive style, with its delicate lines and expressive characterizations, perfectly complements Milne's heartwarming tales. This print is a perfect addition for fans of Winnie-the-Pooh, children's literature enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the enduring magic of childhood.

Did you know? E.H. Shepard initially hesitated to take on the Winnie-the-Pooh project. He was already a successful illustrator and was concerned about being typecast as a children's book illustrator. However, after meeting A.A. Milne and visiting the real locations that inspired the Hundred Acre Wood (Ashdown Forest), he became enthusiastic about the project and created the iconic illustrations that are now inextricably linked to the stories. It's safe to say his hesitation was overcome by the magic of the stories and the landscape.

Bring the timeless charm of the Hundred Acre Wood and Pooh's gentle spirit into your home with this delightful Winnie-the-Pooh in the Rain print.
