Beatrix’s introduction to the Lake District therefore took place in her impressionable teens. In this photograph we see Beatrix’s father, Rupert Potter’s, skilful photography showing the glorious frivolity of the mock castle dwarfing its temporary inhabitants. The castle is now owned by the National Trust.\n\nBeatrix Potter (1866-1943) is one of the world's best-loved children's authors and illustrators. She wrote the majority of the twenty-three original Peter Rabbit books between 1901 and 1913. <i>The Tale of Peter Rabbit </i>(Frederick Warne, 1902) is her most famous and best-loved tale.

Bertram is slightly to the left of the main group looking to the right of the picture instead of towards the camera. There is part of a tree shown to the left and shrubery to the right. A clock is visible which states the time as 10.30. Some shadows are cast by the building.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Rupert Potter","id":"N5415"},"association":{"text":"photographer","id":"AAT25687"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"photographic paper","id":"AAT14190"}],"techniques":[{"text":"albumen process","id":"AAT133274"},{"text":"photography","id":"AAT54225"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Albumen print on paper","categories":[{"text":"Photographs","id":"THES48910"},{"text":"Gardens & Gardening","id":"THES49002"},{"text":"Architecture","id":"THES48993"},{"text":"Tourism & Travel","id":"THES250702"},{"text":"Landscapes","id":"THES250800"},{"text":"Portraits","id":"THES48906"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2024NX8128"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLE","id":"THES49657"},"free":"","case":"SK Temp 10","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"photograph","id":"AAT46300"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Wray Castle","id":"THES252621"},"association":{"text":"photographed","id":"x30151"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Wray Castle","id":"THES252621"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1882","earliest":"1882-01-01","latest":"1882-12-31"},"association":{"text":"taken","id":"x46174"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Linder Bequest [plus object number; written on labels on the same line as the object number]","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"16.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"21.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Photograph taken by Rupert Potter (1832-1914) in 1882 during the family's summer visit to Wray Castle.
