The illustrations featured traits that soon were to characterize much of Rackham's art: flowing pen lines and muted watercolors, forests of looming trees, lovely fairy maidens, and quizzical troll-like figures. Today these images are recognized as among Rackham's very best works.This edition features all 51 full-page color plates, as well as the full text of Irving's classic tale. And enduring foundation of Catskill lore, the captivating narrative recounts the fanciful adventures of an amiable ne'er-do-well colonial farmer who wanders into the highlands, falls asleep after drinking with a band of strange little mountain men, and wakes twenty years later in a world that has passed him by.Effusing a gentle humor, Rackham's art is a constant reminder of a more innocent era. This edition - sure to enchant art lovers - will also delight Rackham devotees and fantasy fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934854676768,"sku":"NEW048644242X","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/washington-irvings-rip-van-winkle-dover-fine-art-history-of-art-048644242x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
