Arthur Rackham: Peter Pan Passed Under the Bridge

The Peter Pan of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906) is not the older boy of the familiar stage play but a seven-day old infant. The book is sumptuously illustrated by Arthur Rackham. An original watercolor from the book held by Peter Harrington of London shows young Peter Pan navigating toward the Gardens in his sailing nest ship built especially for him by the thrushes.
