[c.1929]. ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION FROM THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD A fine drawing of an Islington gentleman looking down on a dead dog. Signed by Arthur Rackham to the lower right. Originally used as a line drawing to illustrate The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith page 111. Coloured and background drawn in by Rackham at a later date. A contemporary review of the book publication stated, "seldom have we seen such a beautiful edition of The Vicar as is this latest production, to which Mr. Arthur Rackham has brought the fruits of his rare and admirable talent. It would have been difficult to find another artist so perfectly fitted to interpret Oliver Goldsmith's little masterpiece" (The Bookman, Dec. 1929). Colour frontispiece and 11 colour plates with captions printed in blue, and line drawings in the text, by Arthur Rackham. Title page printed in red and black with vignette. Excellent condition. Mounted, glazed and framed. See Latimore & Haskell, p. 65, and Riall, p. 170.
