Arthur Rackham - illustrator
Arthur Rackham- he is one of London's most unique historical artists of
note. Arthur put a strange quality into his art, and he put it in with
skill and a love for art. As a child Rackham drew the strange trees in
his backyard, and he would spend so much of his free time drawing. He
went part time to an art academy while he worked as a clerk. He quit his
job as a clerk in 1892 and went to work for The Westminster Budget
as a reporter and illustrator. Arthur Rackham went on to do book
illustrating for the rest of his career. He had amazing drawing skills
and a gift for caricature.
