Inspiration Monday: Arthur Rackham

On Inspiration Monday, I usually post about creatives of the current era and I believe that this is a great way to increase awareness of illustrators, book artists, paper engineers, and more - enriching and inspiring you all (I hope!).

However, today is a retro inspiration post....

I have been intrigued and amazed by the illustration work of Arthur Rackham since I was a small child.  In fact one of my first blog posts referred to a childhood book with smooth colour plate illustrations by Arthur Rackam, a book which I still love and treasure.  And today I wish to revisit his work and add links to view the other-worldy scenes of folklore and fantasy.  
Here are several images found using the search term Arthur Rackham copyright free...



I am reminded of the film Snow White (2001) - a made for TV film with beautiful imagery which I would recommend viewing and The Brothers Grimm (2005) which I also found to be visually inspiring.
