Title: The Sudden Storm from "Rip Van Winkle" (Original artwork)
Author: Rackham, Arthur (artist); Washington Irving
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: 1904. Fine. Original watercolor and pen and ink drawing on paper, mounted onto card (drawing measures approximately 270 x 181 mm). Signed and dated by Arthur Rackham in 1904 (lower right). Verso of card with: "Received Jan 30 wtd (?) Feb 13" and "5086 - [unintelligible] Heinemann." Mounted on card. From Rip Van Winkle, printed tissue guard with: "Even to this day they never hear a thunderstorm about the Catskill but they say Hendrik Hudson and his crew are at their game of ninepins." Last sold at Heritage Auctions, 2019. Before that at Sothebys in 2002 for 10,755 pounds. A charming scene of two young women running for shelter at the break of a storm with several white ducks scattering in the courtyard, made for the "first book illustrated wholly by Rackham to be issued in a limited edition" (Riall). "Arthur Rackham's illustrations for Rip Van Winkle were the first major works of his career as a book illustrator, and they established Rackham as the leading decorative illustrator of the Edwardian period. These were also the first of many of his works to be displayed at the Leicester Galleries in London, an opportunity which both allowed Rackham to make extra money from the sale of his prints, and also establish illustration as a notable work of art in its own right rather than a mere adornment of a literary masterpiece" (Hudson). A lovely example of Rackham's more traditional artistic hand. 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 (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. Fine.

Quite a good copy overall. First Edition. Hofmann, p. 71. McCorkle, p. 123. Hoboken 4, 49, (plate 5). "The Quintet in F minor, Op. 34, is unquestionably one of the greatest works of chamber music for pianoforte and strings ever written." Florence May: The Life of Brahms, p. 364. "The F minor Piano Quintet op. 34 originated in 1862 as a string quintet with two cellos (in imitation of Schubert's identically scored work) and was also arranged as a two-piano sonata (op. 34b). It is perhaps the most tightly integrated work of Brahms's first maturity, especially in the way harmonic and melodic details determine large-scale structure." George S. Bozarth and Walter Frisch in Grove Music Online The former owner, "Montgolfier," may be a descendant of the two brothers (Joseph-Michel Montgolfier 1740-1810 and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier 1745-1799), aviation pioneers and inventors of the "Montgolfière-style hot air balloon ... which launched the first confirmed piloted ascent by humans in 1783, carrying Jacques-Étienne."
