Beatrix Potter was an English author and illustrator who was born in 1866 , her most famous character is Peter Rabbit , a naughty young bunny who got into all sorts of trouble. The Potter brand is immediately identifiable by the Peter Rabbit image and the Potter website is called the 'World of Peter Rabbit' . This rabbit has mass appeal and for me symbolises a nostalgic, carefree, sweet, fairy tale , romantic period which is quintessentially English.
Cracking Art Group 'Big Rabbits' installation Portofino Italy 2009
the art group say the rabbit is a symbol of reproduction and proliferation, this installation was made from old plastic water bottles from landfills and after the piece was exhibited the group destroyed it and reused the materials so that it did not become waste again!
