Complete as issued. One of Rackham\'s scarcer titles. With many of the artist’s best loved and most easily recognized paintings, masterfully crafted. Arthur Rackham is considered one of the great artists from the Golden Age of illustration. He was in a special league with other hugely talented illustrators such as Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen and W. Heath Robinson. Rackham\'s work continues to inspire and influence legions of artists. His first edition books are extremely collectible. Rackham is most known for his work for children\'s fairy tales. His first edition books are extremely collectible. Arthur Rackham\'s fanciful imagination gave his illustrations instant recognition, and his dedication to illustration kept him in the public eye for thirty years - (Hodnett, 233).

With the aqueous world of Undine; Rackham found an opportunity to revive and develop his earlier art nouveau decorative drawing. Lattimore and Haskell p. 34. Riall p. 93. Illustrations in both color and line drawings in black & white. Rackham’s fanciful imagination gave his illustrations instant recognition, and his dedication to illustration kept him in the public eye for thirty years - (Hodnett, 233). Rackham is most known for his work for children\'s fairy tales.\"Germany was Rackham’s favorite holiday destination, and the country which, apart from England, had the single most important influence on his art” (Hamilton, 42). At least one child, however, saw and responded to Rackham\'s art: the young C. S. Lewis, who would later recall, “His pictures, which seemed to me then to be the very music made visible, plunged me a few fathoms deeper into my delight. I have seldom coveted anything as I coveted that book\" (Hamilton, 101).Rackham\'s work is often described as a fusion of a northern European \'Nordic\' style strongly influenced by the Japanese woodblock tradition of the early 19th century.
