Catalogue Note
A drawing of Piglet on the reverse of a table place setting card. The name on the reverse of the card is Mrs [Esme] Williams, wife of David Williams, a cinema manager for the Rank Organisation. Apparently the Rank Organisation organised promotional dinner dances in the early 1950s and, on one occasion, the Williams were seated at a table with E.H. Shepard.
