RACKHAM, Arthur.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Some British Ballads. Signed limited edition, number 23 of 575 copies, signed and numbered by the artist.One contemporary review celebrated how "illustrated gift books have regained this year all their pre-war sumptuousness. With memories of war paper still vivid in the mind it restores one's faith in the possibility of a return to the normal in other things to handle a volume like 'Some British Ballads'... The publishers have given the ballads a setting worthy of them, and Mr Rackham's drawings are well up to the level that has made him the most popular of illustrators" (Dublin Evening Telegraph, 24 December 1919).
