Francis Donkin Bedford


Francis Donkin Bedford (1864 – 1954) was a British artist and illustrator. He strongly influenced the visual identity of Peter Pan and the other characters of J. M. Barrie's story, illustrating them with richly intricate line drawings in the first edition of Peter and Wendy of 1911.






Francis Bedford was born in Kensington, England, the sixth of ten children born to Edwin Bedford and Caroline Bedford . Bedford's father was a solicitor, the son of church architect Francis Octavius Bedford. His mother was the granddaughter of Bryan Donkin, whose firm developed the tin can.
