Arthur Rackham is probably the best-known book illustrator of this century. . In the early 1900s Rackham was in constant demand to illustrate
childrens books and fantastic novels in his detailed and meticulous style.
Rackham's most famous illustrations are probably his
plates for Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream and his
various illustrations for classic English fairytales. Rackham's style is striking
and unique, and his use of color and shading compensate brilliantly for the
limitations of color printing of the period.
The latest edition of our Rackham collection features a large
selection of images, focusing on mythological and fantastic themes, a variety of borders and
decorative emblems, plus a collection of fonts based on Rackham's calligraphy and decorative ornaments. All
of the fonts are in TrueType and Postscript format for the Macintosh or
PC-Compatible computers.
Art is featured from books like Undine,
Midsummer Night's Dream, Goblin Market, English Fairy Tales and several other books.
Recent additions to the collection include unique Rackham Celtic art, as well as a selection of Rackham
borders and illustrations in black and white. The art selection is varied, including not only the great
fairy illustrations for which Rackham is best known, but also more unusual, darker mythological pieces
such as his illustrations for Wagner's Ring Saga and Mallory's Morte d'Arthur.
Rackham also designed his own frontispieces and book bindings, as well as filling many of his books
with whimsical marginal decorations. We've taken Rackhams title lettering and his marginalia and
put them together into an excellent collection of fonts which are included in the package. The fonts
are in Postscript and TrueType format and in versions for both the MacOS and Windows. The fonts
include ourRackham Italic and Rackham text fonts, plus Sangrael, Florissant, Silhouettes, Fairies, Rackham Holiday Ornament
and Goblins which are all based on Rackham's marginal decorations.
Since we first released our Rackham Font & Art package we've been
continually acquiring more sources for Rackham's art and doing additional development work with fonts based on
his lettering and marginalia. As a result the package keeps getting bigger and better. Whenever we do
an update we contact those with older versions of the CD make the new version avaialable to them
at a special upgrade price. We're currently on our 5th version of the CD and it keeps growing and
improving. The only catch is that the latest release of this package
is so large that it can only be delivered on CD and is not available for online download.
Our new edition of the Rackham package includes over 100
illustrations and graphics, plus 8 fonts based on Rackham's calligraphy and a selection of
black and white borders, headers and footers. The complete collection including all the new
fonts and art is only $69. To order
