The Rhinegold & the Valkyrie. Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods. Richard Wagner. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Translated by Margaret Armour. First Rackham edition. London: William Heinemann, New York: Doubleday, Page & Co., 1910 and 1911.The drawings for Wagner gave Rackham above all a theme - the Norse Myths - which appealed to his nordic sympathies, and with it a series of noble motives. Although the heroic did not really suit his talent, his gods and Rhine-maidens were realized on a high plane of imagination, probably because Wagner had deeply stirred him personally. -- source link
