Original Arthur Rackham Pencil Sketch RACKHAM, Arthur, artist. "Woman Running" [n.d., n.p., ca. 1890]. Original pencil drawing. Image size: 5 x 5 inches: 127 x 127 mm. Matted, framed and glazed (frame size: 14 1/2 x 11 3/8 inches; 368 x 288 mm.). This pencil drawing depicts a woman running. She is wearing a hat and a jacket and long skirt. Provenance: from the artist's family. Exhibited at 'The British Art of Illustration' 26th November - 20th December, 1991 (no. 222).

Condizione: Fine. Original pen-and-ink and watercolor drawing for the tinted line drawing illustrating "The Paradise of Children" ("Pandora's Box") in Nathaniel Hawthorne's A Wonder Book (London: [n.d., 1922]). Signed and dated at lower right. Image size: 15 x 11 inches (381 x 279 mm.). Matted, framed, and glazed. Nathaniel Hawthorne's A Wonder Book was a frame story that retold ancient myths for children, in hopes of educating and inspiring them with classical tales adapted from Greek myths featuring "The Gorgon's Head," "The Three Golden Apples," and "The Chimaera," as well as Hawthorne's version of King Midas, "The Golden Touch." First published in the mid-nineteenth century, the 1922 edition illustrated by Rackham truly brought the text to life. This charming watercolor made for one of the book's illustrations depicts life as it was before Pandora opened the box a wonderfully gentle pastoral scene, with a group of three children dancing merrily, without a care in the world, with "the expanding blossoms of that night's supper" hanging heavily on the tree above their heads and "the tender bud of tomorrow's breakfast" growing on the plants in the foreground. A superb original drawing, this watercolor with its subtle colors and artful lines highlights Rackham's talents. 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 (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 classicfrom Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Fine.

Condizione: Fine. A pen ink and watercolor, 9 x 6 inches; 228 x 15 mm. Signed in the lower right-hand corner "A. Rackham". Matted, framed and glazed. This original drawing by the beloved illustrator Arthur Rackham (18671939) depicts witches, ghouls, and goblins, along with other creepy characters set before a mountainous background. First published as a black and white drawing in the 1898 edition of The Ingoldsby Legends (pg. 465), this image was reworked, colored, and used as one of the 24 color plates in the 1907 edition of that book where it accompanied the tale of The Lay of St Aloys, A Legend of Blois (pgs. 391-401). "Rackham had recently developed his gift for drawing witches, gnomes, fairies, and anthropomorphized trees and brought them to a pitch of vivid characterization, sometimes with an unsettling frisson of horror" clearly visible in this pen, ink and watercolor (ODNB). Here Rackham's talent for the menacing and fantastical is on full display. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration.

Condizione: Fine. Watercolor on paper, image size: 9 x 7 1/2 inches; 228 x 190 mm. Matted and framed. Lettered in blue at the top: "Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales," and at the bottom: "With a Number of Illustrations by Arthur Rackham." This gentle and delightful watercolor depicts a group of four children, with a dog, dancing around a snowman. The group is set before a green picket fence and a full moon against a dark blue sky. The snowman, with a rake for his mouth, wears a red glove on his right hand and a green top hat with a red band. He holds a broom in his left hand. With green holly leaves and red berries on either side at the top and green holly leaves on either side at the bottom. A black and white drawing with a snowman and a dog appears on p. 259 of Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales, illustrating the story "The Snow Man" (pp. 256-261). "The idealeven the classiclate Rackham commission was Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales. Harrap sent him to Denmark for a week in November 1931 to collect Danish atmosphere for the book. [His daughter] Barbara accompanied him, and together they explored Copenhagen, Elsinor, a farm in Zeeland, and visited museums, the cinemaand the theatreRackham's Danish sketchbook contains all the 'notes & notes' he took for dear life, studies of cottages, architectural details, courtyards, farm machinery, interiors and so on. The studies appear, as fully dressed drawings, in illustrations such as 'We went hand in hand up the round tower,' from The Elder Tree Mother, and 'Kay and Gerda in the garden high up on the roof,' from The Snow Queen" (Hamilton). The watercolor comes from the estate of Mrs. Barbara Edwards (the artist's daughter).

Original pen-and-ink and watercolor drawing, signed "Arthur Rackham" on lower right-hand corner. Image and board size: 15 1/8 x 10 7/8 inches; 384 x 276 mm. Matted, framed and glazed, frame size: 25 3/4 x 20 3/4 inches; 654 x 526 mm. This ethereal watercolor was created for the title-page of Rackham's illustrated edition of Shakespeare's The Tempest (London: William Heinemann, Ltd. [1926]). Although the drawing in the title-page was uncolored, here he has added background and full watercolor to the image to enhance its salability. It is a charming image depicting a pastoral scene with the airy spirit Ariel dancing and holding a flute-like instrument. Ariel, who had been trapped for years in a tree by Sycorax was released by Prospero and serves him throughout the play until he is freed in the final act. Dressed in a pale blue smock, his joyous expression suggest that he has recently been freed from the tree nearby. Intriguingly, the tree in the foreground is somewhat different to Rackham's usual arboreal style, lacking the signature faces and arms. In the top half of the watercolor, Iris, Ceres, and Juno dance above the long branch, each of them playing an instrument: a lute, a shawm or flute and a tambourine. With a few exquisite strokes of pen and brush, Rackham is about to capture a singular transportive moment.

An Original Arthur Rackham Pencil Drawing To The Other Side? RACKHAM, Arthur, artist. "Arriving by Boat" [n.d., n.p., ca. 1890]. Original pencil drawing. Image size: 8 1/2 x 5 inches: 215 x 127 mm. Matted, framed and glazed (frame size: 16 3/8 x 12 3/4 inches; 423 x 323 mm.). In the foreground is a small row boat docked by some steps. One man with a hat and coat on is sitting in the boat and there is a man on the dock holding what might be some fish. One woman is bending down to look at the fish and another woman is climbing the steps. In the background, sketched, are group of people up on the quayside. In our opinion it is quite possible that this pencil drawing was a preparatory sketch for Rackham's first (and rarest) published book: To The Other Side. With Illustrations by Arthur Rackham & Alfred Bryan. London: George Philip & Son, 1893. The text of this book is in the form of a travel brochure, starting with embarkation on the Majestic in Liverpool, sailing to New York, traveling the Eastern seaboard north to Niagara, Boston, Toronto, etc.: then to Chicago: then via St. Paul and Winnipeg to the Pacific, including visits to Yosemite, British Columbia, etc. Rackham's fifteen illustrations, all black-and-white line drawings, were mostly done after photographs (or from other published sources) of Yosemite (two views), San Francisco's Chinatown, Salt Lake City, New York, miners, cowboys, scenes aboard the Majestic, inside a Pullman car, etc., etc. Provenance: from the artist's family. Exhibited at 'The British Art of Illustration' 26th November - 20th December, 1991 (no. 223).

Arthur Rackham's Fünverein - His 'Five Club' RACKHAM, Arthur, artist. "Saas Fee" [n.d., n.p., ca. 1890]. Original pencil and red crayon drawing, signed "A Rackham/Saas Fee/-- 99" on lower right-hand corner. Image size: 6 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches: 159 x 95 mm. Matted, framed and glazed. (frame size: 14 5/8 x 11 3/4 inches; 371 x 298 mm.). A pencil and red crayon drawing depicting five women in Swiss costume, three of them standing up straight and two of them leaning forward. "The 1890s was the period in which Rackham travelled in England, Europe and Scandinavia whenever opportunities allowed. His circle of friends had widened by this time to include Frank Keen, Sam Hamer, and the two Andrewes brothers, Herbert and Percy The five formed themselves into a kind of jolly walking club, which they called the Fünfverein (Five Club). Their English holidays took them to Dartmoor from a base at Kelly College, Tavistock, and European holidays to France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany." (James Hamilton. Arthur Rackham. A Biography. p.41). Saas-Fee is the main village in the Saastal, or the Saas Valley, and is a municipality in the district of Visp in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. The villages in its neighborhood are Saas-Almagell, Saas-Grund and Saas-Balen.

Last sold at Heritage Auctions, 2019. Before that at Sothebys in 2002 for 10,755 pounds. A charming scene of two young women running for shelter at the break of a storm with several white ducks scattering in the courtyard, made for the "first book illustrated wholly by Rackham to be issued in a limited edition" (Riall). "Arthur Rackham's illustrations for Rip Van Winkle were the first major works of his career as a book illustrator, and they established Rackham as the leading decorative illustrator of the Edwardian period. These were also the first of many of his works to be displayed at the Leicester Galleries in London, an opportunity which both allowed Rackham to make extra money from the sale of his prints, and also establish illustration as a notable work of art in its own right rather than a mere adornment of a literary masterpiece" (Hudson).

Before that at Swann Galleries, 1996 making $9,200. A rustic scene of several young men playing shovel-board in a pub designed for Rackham's version of Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler (1653)the quintessential pastoral work on fishing. Structured as a dialogue between a fisherman, huntsman, and fowler, the book is a celebration of the natural world and the thrills of fishing as a pastime. In this edition the text is visualized with Arthur Rackham's unparalleled illustrations, making it a delight for fishing enthusiasts and collectors alike. Despite Rackham's illness and personal struggles during the project, it was seen as an opportunity to revitalize his career. "No fewer than six plates have landscape backgrounds, plates which should remind us of Rackham's very serious reputation as a landscape painter, with a fine vision of natural forms" (Gettings).

A fourth sticker identifies the piece in a December 1935 exhibition of Rackham's work, with the purchaser named as "Captain E. Merry"; additional numerical pencil markings on back. A bust-length portrait of Izaak Walton (1593-1683) in front of landscape background. The black and white ink illustration was used in Rackham's illustrated edition of The Compleat Angler, published 1931 (on page 19). Rackham added the watercolor when offering this piece for sale at Leicester Galleries. Izaak Walton was an English author and biographer remembered for his beloved book The Compleat Angler (1653). The fishing guide mixed practical advice with folklore, and would eventually be illustrated by Arthur Rackham. In that book, "No fewer than six plates have landscape backgrounds, plates which should remind us of Rackham's very serious reputation as a landscape painter, with a fine vision of natural forms" (Gettings).

Original watercolor and pen and ink on paper, mounted onto card, signed by the artist in the lower right-hand corner (drawing 5 1/16 x 5 1/2 inches, paper 6 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches). At the lower edge of the card in pencil is written: "The Story of Tuan | Irish Fairy Tales | 14 x 14 3/4." On reverse of card is evidence of a missing label and in pencil is written: "PF (or RF) #46." Old bookseller's description inserted into a plastic sleeve on the back of the card. Framed in a modern black and wood frame. This original drawing from James Stephens' Irish Fairy Tales, appeared in The Story of Tuan Mac Cairill on page 29 as a black and white illustration. Rackham added the watercolor prior to sale. This episode is a frame story in which the Abbot of Moville, Finnian, learns why a man named Tuan still believes in the pagan gods. He recounts his life and rebirths as various animal creatures, and the story ends with "Tuan being reborn once again in the name of the Lord" (Stephens).
