For Rackham, "The immediate aftermath of the war brought Some British Ballads (1919), and.Cinderella (1919) and The Sleeping Beauty (1920), retold by C.S. Evans, in which his gift for silhouette was given full play." (Hudson, Arthur Rackham: His Life and Work, p. 108). Rackham's lovely illustrations provide a sense of escapism and romance to a world emerging from the darkness of the war. Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper in 1892. Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic - from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Riall, p. 141; Latimore and Haskell, pp. 51-52. Very Good +. Signed.…
