This stunning treasury features full-page plates of the finest works by the famed English artist, Arthur Rackham (1867–1939). A leading figure in the early twentieth century's Golden Age of Illustration, Rackham interpreted scenes from such diverse material as fairy tales, Wagnerian opera, and Shakespearean comedy. His memorable images, which combine whimsy, romance, and sophistication, continue to enchant children and adults alike.
Magnificently reprinted from more than 25 rare early editions, these 86 illustrations were selected from hundreds of possibilities and include many plates that have not been reproduced in decades. They span Rackham's career — from his landmark 1905 edition of Rip Van Winkle to masterworks such as Undine and A Midsummer Night's Dream and his final publication, Wind in the Willows, in 1939. Art lovers, book collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for imaginative visual storytelling will prize this marvelous treasury.

Arthur Rackham became the leading British figure in what is called The Golden Age of Illustration, a period that included contemporaries like Edmund Dulac and the Brothers Robinson in England, and Howard Pyle and his Brandywine School in America. He was a giant among this group, considered by many the premier illustrator of his day.

Printing defect on many pages
Unfortunately, the book I was sent had a printing defect: quite a few pages had vertical lines across the whole page, including the illustration. This is unsatisfactory, so will be returning. If you would like to try your luck and see if that was just this one defective copy, check the photos of the Table of Contents for reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Magic of Rackham's Illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2008
Verified Purchase
I heartily concur with all the other reviews as far as the necessity of exposing children to Rackham's illustrations as soon as possible. Hopefully this would happen in part through his books, like his Aesop's Fables, Favorite Tales From Grimm, Alice and Wonderland, etc. So my purpose is more practical: to say that the two Dover collections of his pictures, this and Rackham's Fairy Tale Illustrations are very true to Rackham's original color illustrations. I have seen reproductions of some of his illustrations that make his colors seem muddy. He uses a lot of dark colors in his work, but he also used many subtle light colors which have been captured well here. A great value for the money, along with the Fairy Tale book. All the pictures are suitable for framing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A damn fine addition to my library...
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2009

I bought this while browsing through the illustration section of Amazon.com. The illustration on the cover captured my attention: the soft desaturated tones, the girl's pose and attitude, the flowing of the cards: everything was screaming excellence at me. So I instantly clicked on the buy button. When I recieved it, I was happy. It's not a hardback, but the print quality is excellent. The prints are full of gorgeous illustrations of all periods of Mr. Rackhams career. Some images aren't big enough for my tastes (i prefer the poster book variety), but they are still big enough to appreciate the fine detail that he put in the work. As an illustrator myself, I find the quality of the reproductions and the works worth studying. Highly recommended.

I’m only beginning to feel my way through AR and books about him. I got this one hoping its selection of illustrations would help me find his work that emphasizes the forest and wood interiors he does so well. It’s come through for me there. And it seems to be a good survey of his work on comparatively few pages: it’s all full page images and spare captions. The colors, however, are not as saturated as those in my copy of AR, A Life With Illustration. I’m glad I have this book. It was delivered promptly and is in very good condition.

The quality of this edition cannot be stressed enough. The reproductions of Rackham's illustrations are printed in rich, deep color, making each page an artwork in itself. Every page has a white margin around the illustration, and a quote at the bottom to let you know to what text the illustration refers. The book is well-bound and the printing is excellent. I plan to order another copy for myself, as I got the first to give away and wanted to keep it!

Quanto a produção do Arthur Rackham, não há o que dizer, um dos maiores expoentes da ilustração. O detalhamento, a delicadeza das formas, a maleabilidade das figuras belas e grotescas, junto da firmeza do traço são marcas registradas. Um grande artista. Este material compila diversas pranchas maravilhosas, a impressão é satisfatória, sendo possível analisar os detalhes minuciosamente, o formato do livro é grande porém confortável. Só faltava ser de capa dura. Há no início do livro uma curta introdução de duas páginas, mais uma lista de figuras que auxiliam na identificação das imagens, também curta pois a publicação prioriza as ilustrações do artista, o que é ótimo. Para desenhistas que buscam inspiração em Rackham, este livro é ideal, uma biografia se consegue facilmente na internet, o que dificilmente ocorre com imagens de qualidade, ainda mais tantas. Para estes tipos de leitores este livro será de grande ajuda. Uma excelente aquisição.
