EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Arthur Rackham, titled "Little Brother and Little Sister" we are transported into the enchanting world of a classic fairy tale. The year is 1917, as depicted in this 1923 edition of British Book Illustration. The artist skillfully brings to life the characters from the Brothers Grimm story, who have become tired of their wicked stepmother's cruel mistreatment. The image shows a young boy and girl standing beneath an ancient tree, seeking solace in nature's embrace. The old man with wrinkled features stands beside them, perhaps serving as their guide or protector on their daring escape from home. Rackham's intricate line drawing captures every detail of these mythical creatures with remarkable precision. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but be drawn into the rich mythology and timeless beauty that permeates throughout. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of literature and art to transport us to other worlds and ignite our imagination. This print is not only a testament to Rackham's artistic prowess but also showcases the importance of book illustration in bringing stories to life for generations past and present. Through his work, Geoffrey Holme has curated a collection that celebrates British book illustration through history. "The Studio". Ltd. , London has preserved this exquisite piece as part of its legacy in promoting visual arts during the early 20th century. As admirers of Arthur Rackham's talent, we are fortunate to have access to such masterpieces thanks
