Description from the seller
"Rip van Winkle" by Washington Irving and illustrated by Arthur Rackham - William Heinemann, London - 1919 Rackham edition - 20cmx15cm - condition: good, original decorated binding, minor rubbing, wear to crown spine, with 24 illustrations.
The 1905 edition of Rip Van Winkle, written by Washington Irving and illustrated by Arthur Rackham, is widely considered a landmark masterpiece that launched the "Golden Age of Illustration". The Masterpiece That Made Rackham FamousWhile Washington Irving originally published the story in 1819, William Heinemann's 1905 publication featured 51 exquisite color plates by Rackham. The original watercolors were put on display at the Leicester Galleries in London just before publication, earning massive critical acclaim. This display caught the eye of author J.M. Barrie, who immediately commissioned Rackham to illustrate the now-legendary 1906 edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.
