POTTER, Beatrix. The Tale of Benjamin Bunny. London: Frederick Warne and Co., 1904.
12o. Title vignette and 27 color illustrations. Original tan paper boards, upper cover with inset oval color pictorial label, color pictorial endpapers (Linder 2 & 3 [used twice]).
FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, with "Muffatees" for "Muffetees" on p. 15. On September 12th, Beatrix Potter discovered the wrong spelling of "muffetees" and wrote to Norman Warne hoping for a correction before publication, but she was too late for even the first two printings. In addition, also on p. 15, she requested that the "we" in "but we call it lavender" be put into italics. These corrections were made in the third printing of March, 1905. Quinby 6(1); Linder, p. 424.
