Beatrix Potter and her famous bunnies celebrate the upcoming Year of the Rabbit and Easter. John James Audubon and George Stubbs bring together our natural environment, along with stories and legends of the Silk Road. Female focused 'She Created' celebrates the work of Guan Daosheng, the oldest known artist in the collections, dating from the 13th century! 'Glitz and Glam' features splendid headdresses made by Chinese court artists and the flappers and feathers of the 1920s, bringing these beautiful crowns and jewels roaring back to life and ready to embrace the dazzling 2020s! The collections are now available to licence across multiple product categories and territories supported with storytelling content for merchandising, marketing and immersive experiences.
