The fairy world of A Midsummer Nights Dream is the perfect milieu for the artistry of Arthur Rackham  a popular illustrator of fairy tales who possessed a striking gift for depicting fanciful creatures. His dreamlike visions provide a series of unique portraits from the enchanted wood outside ancient Athena  where Oberon and Titania rule a kingdom of diminutive sprites. Rackhams career coincided with the era known as the Golden Age of Illustration  an age that witnessed the rise of increasingly sophisticated color printing techniques. His interpretation of A Midsummer Nights Dream  which first appeared in 1908  received the full benefit of the improved technology  and this faithful reprint offers a quality of printing and sharpness of reproduction that rivals the limited and first editions. The complete text of the play appears here  along with 40 full-color and numerous black-and-white illustrations  a splendid tribute by a master of fantasy art to an immortal play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45924579049525,"sku":"ByrdShop_0486428338","price":66.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780486428338.jpg?v=1787677664","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/shakespeares-a-midsummer-nights-dream-9780486428338","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
