AR012 - Entitled : "A beautiful little girl clad in rich garments stood there on the threshold smiling" PRODUCT VIDEO ⇒ https://bit.ly/3kZGsed This genuine original 1911 print is from the children’s book "Undine" written by De La Motte Fouque and illustrated by Arthur Rackham. The book was published as a second impression of the 1st Edition published in 1912; it is signed in plate by ”Arthur Rackham 09 (or 1909)”, so it is a first edition image. The design itself is on a medium weight paper and measures 6.75 x 5 inches (17 x 13 cm). It is published mounted on a stout card with a light green coloured background and a border design surrounding it. There is a tissue guard bearing the title of the image. The whole page measures c 9.5 x 7.25 inches (25.5x 18.5 cm). The image is in superb condition retaining its original delicate colours and no evidence of foxing or discolouration. The print could be mounted either by itself or as it is, preserving its antique character. It is sold mounted only on its card, but an image is provided as an example of its appearance when matted and framed. The series of images are of a much softer nature and contain more pastel shades when compared with other examples of Rackham’s work, notably “The Ring Of The Niblung” series. They are truly delightful! Illustrated by Arthur Rackham, who is regarded as one of the greatest of the 'Golden Age' book illustrators from Victorian / Edwardian times.
