Whilst doing research, I looked briefly at Beatrix Potter. She is perhaps one of the most relevant artists to relate to Olio because before she even began her books, she was writing stories about Peter rabbit in letters to the son of a former governess which she also illustrated for him. He had been ill and she sought to entertain him with her stories. The letters are what ultimately turned into the books we all know and love today.
Whilst the illustrations in the letters aren't the full colour versions, they are like the small sketches that can be seen throughout her works between the full page colour illustrations.
