Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C.

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C.

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel (1925) and Red Magic (1930).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C.

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel (1925) and Red Magic (1930).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illustrators Art Gallery

\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel (1925) and Red Magic (1930).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Otto Czeschka<\/strong> (1878 \u2014 1960) was an Austrian painter and graphic designer associated with the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer.

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves.

Carl Otto Czeschka<\/strong> (1878 \u2014 1960) was an Austrian painter and graphic designer associated with the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other books illustrated by Edmund Dulac available in our gallery: Stories from the Arabian Nights<\/a>,  Lyrics, Pathetic and Humourous from A to Z<\/a>, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam<\/a>, The Sleeping Beauty<\/a>, Stories from Hans Andersen<\/a>, The Bells, and other poems<\/a>, Princess Badoura<\/a>, Sindbad the Sailor and other stories<\/a>, The Kingdom of the Pearl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel (1925) and Red Magic (1930).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Otto Czeschka<\/strong> (1878 \u2014 1960) was an Austrian painter and graphic designer associated with the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em> (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em>) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll<\/a>. It tells of a young girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Otto Czeschka<\/strong> (1878 \u2014 1960) was an Austrian painter and graphic designer associated with the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other books illustrated by Edmund Dulac available in our gallery: Stories from the Arabian Nights<\/a>,  Lyrics, Pathetic and Humourous from A to Z<\/a>, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam<\/a>, The Sleeping Beauty<\/a>, Stories from Hans Andersen<\/a>, The Bells, and other poems<\/a>, Princess Badoura<\/a>, Sindbad the Sailor and other stories<\/a>, The Kingdom of the Pearl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kay Rasmus Nielsen<\/strong><\/a> (March 12, 1886 \u2013 June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the \"golden age of illustration\". He joined the ranks of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac in enjoying the success of the gift books of the early 20th century. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nielsen's first illustrated book, In Powder and Crinoline<\/a> was published in 1913. He went on to illustrate East of the Sun, West of the Moon<\/a> (1914), Andersen's Fairy Tales<\/a> (1924), Hansel and Gretel (1925) and Red Magic (1930).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em> (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em>) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll<\/a>. It tells of a young girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Otto Czeschka<\/strong> (1878 \u2014 1960) was an Austrian painter and graphic designer associated with the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the new scans for one of the the most famous children's book in the world and by one the most famous Golden Age illustrator Arthur Rackham. First edition, published in 1907 by Heinemann, London. The colors are a bit brighter than my old scans and furthermore, these illustrations are classic worth visiting now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em> (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em>) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll<\/a>. It tells of a young girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Otto Czeschka<\/strong> (1878 \u2014 1960) was an Austrian painter and graphic designer associated with the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the new scans for one of the the most famous children's book in the world and by one the most famous Golden Age illustrator Arthur Rackham. First edition, published in 1907 by Heinemann, London. The colors are a bit brighter than my old scans and furthermore, these illustrations are classic worth visiting now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em> (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland<\/strong><\/em>) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll<\/a>. It tells of a young girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Otto Czeschka<\/strong> (1878 \u2014 1960) was an Austrian painter and graphic designer associated with the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book design was an important part of the modernist craft community in turn of the century Vienna. Leporello-bound art books with fine graphic illustrations were published in limited editions and shared within artist circles, and children\u2019s books was another popular genre for which important artists created high-quality illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901 publisher Martin Gerlach started Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei\u2014<\/em>a young adult book series that answered to the modern principles of art education.  Accordingly, they set out to present their young readership with relevant and enticing content and visuals meant to inspire, educate, and delight.1<\/sup>  The most skilled artists were commissioned to contribute to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first volumes of Gerlachs Jugendb\u00fccherei<\/em> were published in February 1902, original drawings of the illustrations were presented alongside paintings by acclaimed artists like Gustav Klimt at the thirteenth Secessionist exhibition in Vienna, XIII<\/em> Kunstausstellung der Vereinigung Bildender K\u00fcnstler \u00d6sterreich<\/em>.<\/em>2<\/sup>  Even within this fine art context, these small format graphic drawings were regarded as important works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For volume 22, Carl Otto Czeschka (1878-1960) created the artistic highlight of the series: a group of illustrations for Die Nibelungen dem deutschen Volke<\/em> (The Nibelungs<\/em>).  His eight magnificent two-sided drawings convey Franz Keim\u2019s abridged version of the heroic medieval epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czeschka\u2019s illustrations, however, transcend the limitations of Keim\u2019s text: augmented by bold geometric borders and modernized blackletter type by Otto Eckmann, they are incredibly visually commanding despite their small scale.  The book cover, endpapers, initials, vignettes and the binding were also designed by Czeschka, culminating in a highly sophisticated total work that was vibrant, lavish and dynamic yet concise.  It is a quintessential representation of the most celebrated tenants of art and design of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this same time, Czeschka was also engaged with the decoration and the costume designs for Friedrich Hebbels\u2019 tragedy \u201cThe Nibelungs<\/em>\u201d, which he presented at the legendary Viennese Kunstschau 1908<\/em>.  The impact Czeschka made with his Nibelungs drawings was so profound that they were a source of inspiration for Fritz Lang for his 1924 film adaptation of the epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were released, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were received with much excitement and positive response from the community.  The Wiener Werst\u00e4tte offered framed examples of the illustrations for sale and ordered a large number of books for the Christmas trade in 1908.  For the grand dame of Viennese art criticsm, Berta Zuckerkandl, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations were a \u201cmighty, blooming epoch in surface decoration\u201d and the \u201cpurest crystallization of the Wiener Schule.\u201d3<\/sup>  She jubilated: \u201cEqually precious, deep-colored and comparable only to kingly jewellery and glimmering incunabula in proud possession of the Habsburgs are the book decorations which C. O. Czeschka created for The Nibelungs<\/em>.\u201d 4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originals were sold soon after the publication of the book, which was reported by Zuckerkandl in February 1909: \u201cThe originals created for the book reproduction are laying in front of us. They have passed in the ownership of a noble, art-minded Viennese house, and just now the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte is working on an adorned portfolio that dignifies their beauty.\u201d  This partially gilded leather cassette was executed after the first design by Carl Otto Czeschka from 1906 and was carried out by the bookbinders Carl Beitel and Ludwig Willner as well as the leather worker Paul Ruckendorfer in the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their entirety, Czeschka\u2019s illustrations for The Nibelungs<\/em> are counted among the most important pieces that have ever been published in the field of book illustration in early 20th<\/sup> Century Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other books illustrated by Edmund Dulac available in our gallery: Stories from the Arabian Nights<\/a>,  Lyrics, Pathetic and Humourous from A to Z<\/a>, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam<\/a>, The Sleeping Beauty<\/a>, Stories from Hans Andersen<\/a>, The Bells, and other poems<\/a>, Princess Badoura<\/a>, Sindbad the Sailor and other stories<\/a>, The Kingdom of the Pearl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Dulac<\/strong> (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 \u2013  1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulac was a prolific illustrator and designer. His works include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907) with 50 colour plates; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest (1908) with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909) with 20 colour plates; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910); Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911); The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (1912) with 28 colour plates and many monotone illustrations, Princess Badoura (1913) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Thousand and One Nights<\/strong><\/em><\/a>  is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights<\/strong><\/em>, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706\u20131721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central and South Asia, and North Africa. Some tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahry\u0101r and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others are self-contained. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles and to express heightened emotion. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the stories commonly associated with The Nights, in particular \"Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp\", \"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves\", and \"The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor\", were not part of The Nights in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting the illustrations from the First edition of Arabian Nights published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Together with Kay Nielsen's illustrations for the Arabian Nights<\/a> are two of the most beautiful Arabian Nights' books ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other books illustrated by Edmund Dulac available in our gallery: Stories from the Arabian Nights<\/a>,  Lyrics, Pathetic and Humourous from A to Z<\/a>, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam<\/a>, The Sleeping Beauty<\/a>, Stories from Hans Andersen<\/a>, The Bells, and other poems<\/a>, Princess Badoura<\/a>, Sindbad the Sailor and other stories<\/a>, The Kingdom of the Pearl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham<\/strong><\/a> (1867 \u2013 1939) was an English book illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. During that period, there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Rackham's books were produced in a deluxe limited edition, often vellum bound and sometimes signed, as well as a larger, less ornately bound quarto 'trade' edition. This was often followed by a more modestly presented octavo edition in subsequent years for particularly popular books. He was one of the most prolific and most loved illustrator of children's book. Many of his work are still in print today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting here are Arthur Rackham's Peter Pan in Kensington Garden wonderful illustrations. First published in 1906 with all new and improved scans. I've started to re-scan some of my favorite books, since I was not entirely please with the quality of the old scans. Enjoy the illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful illustrated Peter Pan book. Many illustrators have illustrated Peter Pan over the years, but none has surpassed Rackham in the originality and his masterful interpretation of J.M. Barrie's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/strong> is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie<\/a>. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on J.M. Barrie<\/a>'s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Arthur Rackham's illustrated works available in our gallery: Rip Van Winkle<\/a>, Tales of Mystery and Imagination<\/a>, Book of Pictures<\/a>, The Night Before Christmas<\/a>, The Pied Piper of Hamelin<\/a>, Midsummer's Night Dream<\/a>, Undine<\/a>, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland<\/a>, The Ingoldsby Legends<\/a>, Grimm's Fairy Tales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
