The original illustrated map of Winnie-the-Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood, drawn by E. H. Shepard, is being auctioned at Sotheby’s in July. Sotheby’s press release (PDF)<\/a>: “Featuring on the opening end-papers of the original 1926 book, the sketch introduces readers to the delightful imagination of Christopher Robin and his woodland friends. Exactly 40 years later the map played a starring role in the landmark Disney film\u2014Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree<\/em>\u2014where it was brought to life as an animation in the film\u2019s opening sequence.” The map, one of the best-known in English literature, is expected to fetch between \u00a3100,000 and \u00a3150,000; the BBC reports<\/a> that the map last sold in 1970 for \u00a31,700. Four original drawings by Shepard are also being auctioned. [Atlas Obscura<\/a><\/em>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
