Why You’ll Love It
Among the rarest and most enchanting works Barbara Raheb ever created, this is an extraordinary miniature pop-up edition of Beatrix Potter's beloved The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Produced in an exceptionally small edition of just 150 copies, this masterpiece combines readable text, delicately hand-colored illustrations, and fully functional pop-up scenes that bring Peter Rabbit's adventures to life in astonishing 1:12 scale. With hand-colored artwork, and hand cut paper mechanisms, charming scenes unfold just as a full-sized pop-up book would. Bound in elegant green pyroxylin with gilt-stamped titling and a detailed gilt Peter Rabbit illustration on the cover, this 1993 limited edition is one of the most desirable Barbara Raheb books ever produced. Numbered #70 of only 150 made.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
