Beatrix Potter, the creator of Peter Rabbit & Jemima Puddleduck children stories was better known as Mrs Hellis, when in this picture she was judging the best of ‘Herdwick Sheep’ at the Patterdale Show in 1938. Rex Marsden had the privilege of meeting the Artist ‘Delmar Banner’ and his wife, the sculptor ‘Josefina de Vasconcellos’ in her home studio not far from his home in the Langdale Valley. Delmar Banner (1896-1983) was also an ‘Anglican Ley Preacher’ and the charming painting of his friend ‘Beatrix Potter’ now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Original by Delmar Banner.
