EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the wings of the wind, 1915" by Arthur Rackham takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the pages of Charles Dickens' timeless classic, A Christmas Carol. The image showcases an enchanting scene from the novel, where ethereal phantoms and ghostly apparitions float gracefully amidst a backdrop of London's misty streets. Rackham's masterful use of color lithography brings to life the eerie atmosphere surrounding Ebenezer Scrooge as he embarks on his transformative Christmas Eve adventure. The window serves as a portal into this supernatural realm, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the mysterious world that lies within its pages. The characters are depicted with intricate detail and haunting expressions, capturing both their otherworldly essence and their pivotal roles in Scrooge's redemption story. Jacob Marley hovers ominously in chains while guiding Scrooge towards self-reflection and compassion. This print not only pays homage to Dickens' literary genius but also showcases Rackham's exceptional talent for illustrating complex narratives. It serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us beyond our reality and ignite our imagination. Displayed proudly at the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its evocative depiction of ghosts, phantoms, and unforgettable characters that have become synonymous with Christmas cheer tinged with just a hint of spookiness.
