This original 2-sided print from the 1978 book “Fairy Tales From Many Lands” is illustrated by Arthur Rackham and signed in the plates. It is printed on glossy paper and measures 7” x 8.5” (18cm x 22cm). Both sides feature illustrations from "The Allies' Fairy Book" and there is a good margin for framing. Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) was an English book illustrator and is recognised as one of the leading literary figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour. He has been called The Beloved Enchanter, and spellbound we become as we venture into his world of menacing forests and their horrifying denizens. It is a world of evil gnomes, brutish giants, ponderous dragons and comic but naughty dwarves. Nature herself assumes a sinister personality, trees threaten and shadows conceal, In this stark world, one is not likely to find the smooth-skinned, roseate or plump. Yet trespass they do, the barefooted woodlanders, beautiful princesses and gallant young knights. And although they are ill at ease, their finery and delicacy mocked, their lives in peril, they will emerge triumphant and sometimes wiser from this land of faery.
