Description
London: George Harrap & Co, 1932. First thus. Very Good +. One of 575 copies signed by Arthur Rackham. Octavo (8 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches; 222 x 146 mm.). 47, [1] pp. Four color plates and fifteen drawings in black and white. Original limp vellum. Pictorial endpapers in green and white. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Some toning to endpapers. Housed in a custom green cloth clamshell case (lacking the original slipcase). A Very Good+ copy. The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria, is a children's fantasy-adventure novel by the English critic John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) first published in 1851. The parable follows Gluck, the youngest and kindest of three brothers, whose meeting with the magical King of the Golden River changes his life forever, while teaching the reader about generosity along the way. A departure from most of his literary output, the book was originally written for the twelve-year old Effie Gray, who Ruskin would later marry and who would eventually leave him for John Everett Millais. Ruskin would later praise "the value of the traditional tales, with their power 'to fortify children against the glacial cold of selfish science'-a sentiment which lies at the heart of his own story" (The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales). Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper in 1892. Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic - from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Latimore and Haskell, p. 67. Riall, p. 176. Very Good +.
