The Art of Book Design: The Velveteen Rabbit


Bianco, Margery Williams; Illustrations by Nicholson, William, Sir. London, Heinemann, 1922.

This is the original cover from the first publication of the book in 1922. I’ve included a few interior plates to showcase the simple, tender artwork that brings the story to life.

    This and Terrible Things were my two favourite bunny books as a child. Both written for crying. I had the version with these illustrations but I read that book to pieces.
