Peter Pan im Waldpark : Frei ins Deutsche übertragen von J. Funcke. Mit 16 farbigen ganzseitigen Illustrationen von [Arthur] Rackham

Barrie, James M, J., Funcke, Rackham, Arthur · 1911 · Verlag Gustav Kiepenheuer · 19 pictures

A 1911 German translation of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan, published by Verlag Gustav Kiepenheuer and adapted by J. Funcke, with sixteen full-page colour illustrations by Arthur Rackham for a young readership. The four pictures show a boy in a tree beside a crow, children among gnarled roots above a hidden underground home, and a fairy-tale night scene of a sleeping figure and a dangling white garment in dense ink-hatched woodland. A designer might take Rackham's tangled, root-heavy linework, deep shadowed greens and browns, and the way small creatures sit within large trees.
