EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece print from Arthur Rackham's 1915 edition of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens transports viewers into the enchanting world of Ebenezer Scrooge and his haunting journey towards redemption. Measuring at a modest 15x11 cm, this lithograph captures the essence of the supernatural elements that permeate throughout the beloved holiday tale. The illustration showcases an array of characters, both living and spectral, as they come to life on the page. The central figure is none other than Scrooge himself, portrayed with meticulous detail by Rackham. His stern countenance hints at his initial skepticism towards the spirits that visit him during one fateful Christmas Eve night. Surrounding Scrooge are ethereal apparitions representing each ghostly visitor he encounters: Jacob Marley draped in heavy chains symbolizing his past sins; the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come emanating an otherworldly glow; and various specters lurking in dark corners. This visual representation perfectly captures Dickens' masterful storytelling ability to intertwine supernatural elements with human emotions. Rackham's intricate illustrations bring Dickens' timeless characters to life once again through delicate lines and expert shading techniques.

Displayed proudly within Philadelphia's Free Library Rare Book Department, this print serves as a testament to both Rackham's artistic
