Peter Rabbit, beautiful boxed set produced by F.Warne and Co. in 1993 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the writing of the original Peter Rabbit letter in 1893. It is a limited edition set and this one is number 620 of only 750 sets made. The note inside the box states, 'This commemorative box contains facsimiles of the three stages in the publication of that classic book: The picture letter Beatrix Potter wrote to Noel Moore in 1893, Her own privately printed volume of 1901, The original deluxe edition published by Frederick Warne in 1902 (gold binding).' Condition: as you can see from the photo, there is a water mark on the front of the blue box and a similar, larger, mark across the back of it. It looks like damage caused by water and maybe the box got damp at some point.The only other flaw is that little splodge you can see on the front of the privately printed copy. Otherwise in very good++ condition. There are no marks or inscriptions, both books appear unread and the clasp on the box is fine. Very sweet little set for the serious Potter collector. NB I have added a picture of the backs of the books and box so you can make a better assessment of the mark.
