Arthur Rackham Paintings

British, b. 1867

Arthur Rackham was born on September 19, 1867, in London. Rackham was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading literary figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. Rackham's illustrations were chiefly based on robust pen and India ink drawings. Rackham gradually perfected his own uniquely expressive line from his background in journalistic illustration, paired with subtle use of watercolor, a technique which he was able to exploit due to technological developments in photographic reproduction. Rackham died on September 6, 1939, in Limpsfield.
