MOSCOW, August 25 English book illustrator Ernest Shepard's original sketch for Alan Milne's children's story «Winnie the Pooh» has been found in the basement of a second-hand bookseller in the UK, The Times reported on Friday.
«You are probably familiar with this image. Winnie the Pooh and Piglet walk into the sunset, thinking about breakfast and what interesting things await them the next day. This image has been reproduced many times, but the originals are very rare. Now the authentic version of this The famous scene by Winnie the Pooh illustrator E.H. Shepard was found wrapped in an old tea towel after years of storage in a second-hand bookstore's basement.
It is noted that this is not an original sketch drawn for a book edition of the 1920s, but an illustration recreated by Shepard's hand.

«So far, only one of his drawings of this scene has been sold. It was the original, sold last year for $220,000 (about £170,000),» the article says.

The discovered drawing will be put up for auction. «From £20,000 to £30,000 would be an attractive estimate,» Dominic Winter Auctioneers spokesman Chris Albury said.
