Never Never Land - Blampied’s Illustrations for Peter Pan and Wendy
11 December 2007 to March 2008
An enchanted watercolour world of lost boys and Red Indians from the brushes of Jersey's best-loved artist and caricaturist, Edmund Blampied. The Jersey Heritage Trust cares for 12 original watercolours, which were produced by Blampied for the 1939 Hodder and Stoughton version of Peter Pan. The combination of Blampied's delightful illustrations and the story of Peter Pan made this reprint one of the finest and most sought after of the story of the boy who never grew up, and will make for a magical Christmas exhibition.

Might be worth getting in touch with Jersey Heritage Trust and ask them if they have a catalogue of the exhibition or any other information.

I've been!

It's not very big but they have all the original art-work from the book which has been in store in London. There is a history of EB. As I have a first edition of Peter Pan I found it extremely interesting.

There is no catalogie available.
