Summary
Printed illustration for Jemima Puddle-Duck's Painting Book (published August 1925), coloured in watercolour by Beatrix Potter. The book should have been published in 1924, but in a letter dated 30 December 1924 Beatrix states, 'No new book; should have been a painting book, re-drawn from Jemima, but the engravers were slow.' This is a printed and hand coloured version of the original ink drawing HIL.RP.375. Jemima cries over her broken eggs.
