After a weekend of black and white let's start the week with some vibrant colour from Heinrich Stub (1916-2014) a graphic designer who lived most of his life in Basel. Like many of his peers he designed stage sets which indicates the vibrancy of theatre as an art form at this time in Europe. Most of his life he worked as a typesetter and graphic designer. These works by Heiri Stub are from Sumse Sumesebrumm 1946 an adaptation of a children's rhyme by Korney Chukovsky a Russian poet and children's author. Thank you

Arthur Rackham (1867 – 1939) 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. Arthur Rackham's works have become very popular since his death, both in North America and Britain. His images have been widely used by the greeting card industry and many of his books are still in print or have been recently available in both paperback and hardback editions. His original drawings and paintings are keenly sought at the major international art auction houses. This is part 3 of an 8-part post on the works of Arthur Rackham. For full biographical notes see part 1. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play by William Shakespeare. Believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596, it portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors, who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play, categorised as a Comedy, is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world. Originally published in 1907, some of these illustrations have later dates. 1908 Cover of A Midsummer Night's Dream Title page Titania lying asleep Hermia Where often you and I upon faint primrose-buds were wont to lie, emptying our bosoms of their counsel sweet She never had so sweet a changeling The Meeting of Oberon and Titania Fairies away!

What angel wakes me from my flowery bed? …ghosts, ivanciering here and there troop hovie to churchyards O monstrous! O strange we are haunted pray, masters fly, masters! Help! How now, spirit! Whither wander you Never so weary, never so in woe, bedabbled with dew and torn with briars To make my small elves coats Are you sure that we are awake.
