Rackham, Arthur (1867–1939)

English illustrator. Influenced by art nouveau, he developed an ornate and delicate style. He illustrated a wide range of books, but is best remembered for his illustrations for children's classics, including Peter Pan (1906) and Andersen's Fairy Tales (1932).

Educated at the City of London School and Lambeth School of Art, in his twenties Rackham drew illustrations for journals such as Pall Mall and Graphic. Among the many books he illustrated are Rip Van Winkle (1905), Dickens's A Christmas Carol (1915), The Sleeping Beauty (1920), The Vicar of Wakefield (1929), The Compleat Angler (1931), The Arthur Rackham Fairy Book (1933), The Pied Piper of Hamelin (1934), and Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery (1935).
