Beatrix Potter collaborated with Norman Warne of Frederick Warne & Co (and through Warne & Co, with the Victorian innovator in color printing (chromoxylography), Edmund Evans, who worked in children's book publishing with Routledge and Warne from the early 1860s onward).
Miss Potter also carried out important land conservation work in the Lake District after her children's books took off in popularity. (Her systematically accumulated acreage, there, was gifted to the nation upon her death to form part of what is now the Lake District National Park). Her children's stories about animals and gardens have become forever linked to her later record of environmental stewardship in the Lake District.
