This one-of-a-kind display preserves a first edition copy of Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne, illustrated by E.H. Shepard, alongside a hand-written letter referencing the book’s publication. Both elements were carefully arranged in a deep custom shadowbox with a warm, neutral suede matting and a gold-toned frame that complements the vintage character of the materials.
The design allows the book and letter to appear as if they’re floating within the frame, creating depth while maintaining a museum-quality presentation. Archival, acid-free materials were used throughout to protect the delicate paper and binding. UV-protective glass was added to safeguard the ink and cover from fading over time.
Framing rare books and letters requires precision mounting to prevent stress or damage while still showcasing every detail. This Winnie the Pooh shadowbox demonstrates how Framing & Display brings together preservation and design—transforming treasured literary collectibles into timeless wall art.
