The figure of Peter Pan on the box and the card backs is based upon the statue by Sir George Frampton erected in 1912 in Kensington Gardens, London.
In the inside cover of the rule book it is noted that the game is published "By permission of, and in collaboration with the original Publishers of Peter Pan card game, H.P Gibson & Sons."
That game was drawn by Charles Buchel and printed by Thomas de la Rue. It was published around 1912. You can see that game at World of Playing cards.
Many years later, when Gibsons rescued the Pepys brand it was republished as as a Pepys game. That version can be seen here.
