The pencil drawing, which shows the animated characters playing Poohsticks, still has a perforated edge from where Shepard ripped it from his sketchbook, the Daily Express reported.

The 9in by 5in sketch, which has emerged after 87 years, is owned by a friend of the artist’s wife. The illustration will be auctioned off at Sotheby’s in London on December 10.u00a0
