Arthur Rackham Siegfried Poster Print 1924

Arthur Rackham (19 September 1867 – 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading literary figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator.

One of the greatest heroes in Norse mythology is Siegfried, and perhaps the greatest telling of his story is in Richard Wagner’s “The Ring of the Nibelung” opera.

Siegfried is the grandson of Wotan, the King of the Gods, who had decreed that only a hero of pure heart, who knew no fear, could forge a sword strong enough to defeat the vicious and terrifying dragon, Fafnir, who protected a vast treasure of gold – and the Ring of Power.

Said to be the inspiration behind Tolkiens The Hobbit.
Arthur Rackham Quotes:

"Like the sundial, my paint box counts no hours but sunny ones."
"For children in their most impressionable years, there is, in fantasy, the highest of stimulating and educational powers."
