Arthur Rackham: With One Spring He Rose, and Cleared It at a Bound

Charles O'Malley:  The Irish Dragoon by Charles Lever was published in 1897. The book has sixteen illustrations by Arthur Rackham. James Cummins, Bookseller, has just listed the original of one of these, an equestrian drawing. Its title, taken from the action, is With one spring he rose, and cleared it at a bound. A young woman, a Rackham beauty, kneeling down on the paving stones is clearly overcome with the feat.

This note from Charles Addams on the New Yorker's letterhead was folded, unfortunately, over the signature, most likely by the cartoonist himself.
