This is Shepard's original drawing for the book with the address on the reverse to which he moved in 1927. It is one of only eight full page drawings for the book. Shepard's drawings from the Pooh books are generally found as small vignettes, often drawn later as private commissions. Original full page drawings are very seldom encountered in commerce and highly sought.
