About This Item
1919 Arthur Rackham ART 1ed Some British Ballads Francis James Child Clerk Colvill
"Some British Ballads" is a 1919 collection of verses and narratives, primarily sourced from Francis James Child's "The English and Scottish Popular Ballads." The compilation features timeless ballads such as 'Clerk Colvill,' 'The Lass of Lochroyan,' 'The Twa Corbies,' 'Get up and Bar the Door,' 'The Old Cloak,' and 'Proud Lady Margaret,' among many others.
However, what truly sets this first edition apart is the inclusion of stunning color and black-and-white illustrations by Arthur Rackham, celebrated artist from the British Golden Age of Illustration. Rackham's unique style combines haunting humor and dream-like romance, adding depth and enchantment to these traditional ballads. His unparalleled artistry not only enhances the reader's experience but also preserves the charm and allure of these timeless stories for future generations.
