Catalogue Note
The original illustration appears in chapter two of The House at Pooh Corner (first published 1928), 'In which Tigger comes to the Forest and has breakfast'. It is therefore Shepard's third depiction of Tigger.
This version, re-drawn by Shepard seven years later, was produced for Harold Scott. Both Shepard and Scott had served in the same Regiment during the First World War (see previous lot). Shepard had been a Royal Artillery Major and Scott had been a gunner.
