Dugald Walker – Rainbow Gold 1922 – First Edition
Dugald Stewart Walker (1883 — 1937) was an early twentieth century American illustrator.
Walker’s first comprehensive suite of colour and monotone illustrations appeared in Stories for Pictures (1912) and in the Foreword for that title written by Mackay, Walker was described in the following terms:
“Dugald Stewart Walker, a new artist of remarkable talent, suggesting Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac but entirely original in spirit and execution.”
Two years after that debut, his generously illustrated version of Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen (1914) appeared – a title that benefited significantly from Walker’s editorial involvement in the project – and over the following decade, many other commissions followed.
Introducing Dugald Walker’s illustrations for the book Rainbow Gold: Poems Old and New Selected for Boys and Girls. First edition, published in 1922 by MacMillan. I hope you enjoy these wonderful Art Nouveau illustrations. Similar in style with Will H. Bradley, you’ll surely like his works.
