The original watercolor illustration for the first edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” -- the book that introduced the world to the young bespectacled wizard -- will go up for auction in New York on Wednesday.
Taylor was working at a children’s bookstore in Cambridge, England, when he was tapped by publisher Barry Cunningham at Bloomsbury to paint the image for J.K. Rowling’s book, which was to be released in London on June 26, 1997. “So he knew about the world before anybody else and it was really up to him to think of how he visualized Harry Potter,“ Sands told AFP.
“As I write and illustrate my own stories today, I am proud to look back on such magical beginnings,“ Taylor said.
