{"product_id":"toads-tea-party-beatrix-potter-print","title":"The Toads' Tea Party — Beatrix Potter (c. 1905)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTea time in the undergrowth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a quiet woodland, six plump toads in jackets of blue, ochre, pink, brown, green and violet have gathered around a table made from a toadstool. Each sits on a mushroom of its own, sipping solemnly from an acorn cup, while a large cake waits in the middle. A seventh toad, arriving late, peers over a fallen branch. Beatrix Potter painted this whimsical scene around 1905 for a book of nursery rhymes she was planning at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeatrix Potter, naturalist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook closely at the mushrooms: they are painted with a botanist's precision. Before becoming a children's author, Potter was a passionate mycologist. She painted hundreds of scientifically accurate studies of fungi and studied how their spores germinate, work that was presented to the Linnean Society of London in 1897, at a time when women were not allowed to attend its meetings. In \u003cem\u003eThe Toads' Tea Party\u003c\/em\u003e, her two passions meet: the storyteller dresses her toads in little jackets, the scientist paints the forest floor exactly as it is. The original drawing is held in the Linder Bequest at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works so well on a wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMossy greens, autumn golds and jewel-toned jackets on a soft ivory background: this print is a joy in a kitchen, a dining room or a tea corner, and a delight in a child's bedroom. A must for lovers of cottagecore and goblincore interiors, mushroom enthusiasts and anyone who takes their tea very seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beatrix Potter (1866–1943)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Toads' Tea Party\u003c\/em\u003e, drawn for a planned book of nursery rhymes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e c. 1905\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pen and ink and watercolour on paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Victoria and Albert Museum, London (Linder Bequest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wallango edition, ivory background with museum-style caption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover all our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/beatrix-potter\"\u003eBeatrix Potter prints\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wallango","offers":[{"title":"A4 \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988425027,"sku":"P7251S","price":44.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A4 \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988457795,"sku":"P7252S","price":84.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x18 inches \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988490563,"sku":"P7253S","price":53.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x18 inches \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988523331,"sku":"P7254S","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x30 inches \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988556099,"sku":"P7255S","price":79.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x30 inches \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988588867,"sku":"P7256S","price":157.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 inches \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988621635,"sku":"P7257S","price":96.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 inches \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988654403,"sku":"P7258S","price":192.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27x40 inches \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988687171,"sku":"P7259S","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27x40 inches \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988719939,"sku":"P7260S","price":210.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40x60 cm \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988752707,"sku":"P7261S","price":61.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x60 cm \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988785475,"sku":"P7262S","price":122.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988818243,"sku":"P7263S","price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988851011,"sku":"P7264S","price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60x90 cm \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988883779,"sku":"P7265S","price":96.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60x90 cm \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988916547,"sku":"P7266S","price":192.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"70x100 cm \/ Poster","offer_id":54863988949315,"sku":"P7267S","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100 cm \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863988982083,"sku":"P7268S","price":210.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"A3 \/ Poster","offer_id":54863989014851,"sku":"P7269S","price":53.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863989047619,"sku":"P7270S","price":44.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"A2 \/ Poster","offer_id":54863989080387,"sku":"P7271S","price":61.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863989113155,"sku":"P7272S","price":122.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 \/ Poster","offer_id":54863989145923,"sku":"P7273S","price":88.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863989178691,"sku":"P7274S","price":175.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 \/ Poster","offer_id":54863989211459,"sku":"P7275S","price":122.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 \/ Hahnemühle","offer_id":54863989244227,"sku":"P7276S","price":244.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/3810\/2851\/files\/toads-tea-party-beatrix-potter-poster.jpg?v=1791200088","url":"https:\/\/wallango.com\/en-ca\/products\/toads-tea-party-beatrix-potter-print","provider":"Wallango ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
