Charming wrapping paper to match our Beatrix Potter Little Rabbit baby shower invitations in the plum colorway.

Description: A proper little rabbit with a plum ribbon tied in a pretty bow sips tea from a china teacup. On the tile floor in front is the tea set, including teapot, sugar bowl, sugar tongs, milk pitcher and more teacups, tea spoons resting on the saucers. Perhaps there is to be a tea party! Background of plum (purple or aubergine) English chintz. "Baby Shower Gift" in matching plum script.

About the original work of art:
Artist:Beatrix Potter
Date: Probably 1890s.
Medium and substrate: Ink and watercolor on paper.

Although this painting never appeared in any of Beatrix Potter's books, it is one of her most delightful watercolors and highly finished.
