Die Übersetzung von Leo Feld. "Rackham is not usually remembered as an illustrator of Dickens but A Christmas Carol was decidedly successful for he contrived to adapt the tradition of 'Phiz' and Cruikshank to his own characteristic style in the pictures of Victorian London and at the same time found scope for his fantasy in the ghost scenes. We also find him here developing his special talent for silhouette rare among illustrators. That he only once attempted Dickens again - with The Chimes for the Limited Editions Club in 1931 - may be a matter for regret for he was well qualified by sympathy to interpret Dickens in certain of his moods" Hudson S. 106. - Im Schnitt leicht gebräunt.
