I'm a great fan of Arthur Rackham, too - thanks for posting these up here. It's that blend of brilliant draughtsmanship, delicate colouring and the slightly brooding, sometimes quite menacing air which really does it for me.
It's nice to see he's still appreciated!
Yes, you're right, the drawing and the colours are very delicate and intricate. I don't know much about how they printed in his day but I'm assuming the process would have influenced the results a lot.
Thank you for all these informations and the pictures of Rackham's illustrations. I didn't know his works but I am now determined to learn more about the artist !
