From 1967, this rare historical photo shows the original Winnie the Pooh and his friend Christopher Robin.  The Disney version is adapted from a set of children’s books written by English author, A. A. Milne.  The story of Winnie the Pooh is based on the author’s son and his toys.  Most of the characters, including Pooh and Eeyore have been reported to have been named after toys that the real Christopher Robin had.  Since those stories were written, Pooh Bear has become an international icon.
