by RACKHAM, Arthur
- Used
- Signed
[c.1929]. ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION FROM THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD A fine drawing of an Islington gentleman looking down on a dead dog. Signed by Arthur Rackham to the lower right. Originally used as a line drawing to illustrate The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith page 111. Coloured and background drawn in by Rackham at a later date. A contemporary review of the book publication stated, "seldom have we seen such a beautiful edition of The Vicar as is this latest production, to which Mr. Arthur Rackham has brought the fruits of his rare and admirable talent. It would have been difficult to find another artist so perfectly fitted to interpret Oliver Goldsmith's little masterpiece" (The Bookman, Dec. 1929). Colour frontispiece and 11 colour plates with captions printed in blue, and line drawings in the text, by Arthur Rackham. Title page printed in red and black with vignette. Excellent condition. Mounted, glazed and framed. See Latimore & Haskell, p. 65, and Riall, p. 170.

1829. Signed Aug. Edouart fecit and dated 1829 lower left. 11 x 7-1/4 inches. Matted. Signed Aug. Edouart fecit and dated 1829 lower left. 11 x 7-1/4 inches. Augustin Amant Edouart was a French-born portrait artist who began making silhoutte portraits in London in 1825. In 1829 he moved to Edinburgh, where he worked for three years before traveling in the United States and then moving back to France. Edouart's silhouttes, cut out from black paper by hand, are held by collections such as the National Portrait Gallery in London, the National Galleries of Scotland, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. His work has been included in several leading exhibitions on silhouettes as an art form. This fine example of Edouart's work shows a man in a top hat carrying a thin straight cane, followed by a small dog with short legs. The workmanship gives a sense of motion, and the glint of white at the man's collar is striking in an otherwise near-solid figure. Provenance: Kennedy Galleries, Inc., New York
