One of the most scarce and desirable Rackham titles.""Rip Van Winkle of 1905 was a turning point in Rackham's career because of its 51 color plates. Known previously as a black-and-white artist, Rackham with this book achieved preeminence as an illustrator working in the three-color process… Rackham's Rip Van Winkle is among the most thoroughly illustrated of English books… His 50 illustrations, which are grouped at the end, come at a rate of one to every two or three sentences… presenting Rip's story in the most ingenious and engaging detail"" (Ray, 203-04). Ray 328. Latimore & Haskell, 26. Riall, 69. Bookplate; letters from a Rackham collector to a book dealer laid in.Expert repairs to text block, a beautiful copy in near-fine condition.
