I am most intrigued by the announcement of an exhibition of Rackham's original book illustrations at London's Leicester Galleries:
 |
| The North Wind and the Sun |
 |
| The Oak and the Reeds |

Note: I was not able to attend the Arthur Rackham exhibition at Leicester Galleries in 1912 and neither were my great grandparents. Still, I might like to see the price list, from anyone who may have benefitted from art-loving great grandparents who were also pack rats.
