Arthur Rackham, 1867-1939:
A century after the first Tales from Shakespeare, Arthur Rackham illustrated this 1909 edition. Rackham was already known for his illustrations of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and he became one of the most famous artists of Great Britain's "golden age' of book illustration. Deluxe editions of his illustrated books were given as cherished gifts. |
