BibliOdyssey has a post full of original illustrations and drawings from Ernest Howard Shepard that are set to go on auction at Sotheby’s on December 17, 2008.
The auction, appropriately named ‘That sort of Bear’: E.H. Shepard’s Winnie-the-Pooh From the Collections of Stanley J Seeger and Christopher Cone will feature 42 lots of illustrations, drawings, and rare books created by E.H. Shepard for the famous children’s story by A.A. Milne.
You can bet that these rare pieces will fetch a hefty sum once they go to auction, so if you can’t afford to buy them, at least you can look at them for free from the comfort of your computer.
