A photo description:

Christopher Robin's original Winnie-the-Pooh stuffed toys, on display at the Main Branch of the New York Public Library. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Bear ("Winnie-the-Pooh"), Eeyore, and Piglet. Roo was also one of the original toys, but was lost during the 1930s.
