Beatrix Potter is a British writer and illustrator whose contribution to the development of 20th-century illustrated children’s literature is unquestionable. However, as M. Daphne Kutzer (2003) demonstrates in her work Beatrix Potter: Writing in Code, Potter was also an author who mastered the art of camouflage (evident across various stages and forms of her creative output). Following Kutzer’s observations, the author of the article aims to examine Potter’s first publication, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), focusing on its rebellious – though at first glance invisible – content. The paper makes an attempt to explore the seemingly hidden symbolic messages that emerge at the intersection of text and illustration (created by Potter herself), which functions as more than mere accompaniment to the narrative.
