Arthur Rackham: A Biography

Though Arthur Rackham's enchanted illustrations for some of the greatest works in literature are well-recognizable, the man himself remains elusive. Offered here is a "definitive biography,'' drawing on previously unpublished documentary & pictorial evidence, as well as insights from the artist's family, friends, & fellow artists. A First Printing of this FIRST US EDITION from 1990, this quarto 9.0" x 12.50") has brown cloth-covered boards lettered in bright gilt to spine. In 199 pages, lavishly illustrated throughout, with select Bibliography, Notes, & Index in rear. Condition is Near Fine: nearly as bright & clean as Brand New save for some light foxing to top outside page edges & slight sticker residue to center of front cover. Binding strong & straight, hinges secure, pages white with a whisper of tanning to edges, but completely unmarked. Corners crisp. The unclipped DJ is also Near Fine, with just a hint of edgewear: colorful & bright & protected in new clear mylar cover to stay that way!
