A VERY HANDSOMELY BOUND SET WITH THE IMPORTANT RACKHAM ILLUSTRATIONS TO WAGNER'S RING CYCLE. It is obvious at first glance that Rackham was deeply and personally inspired by Wagner’s great mythic theme. His illustrations emerge from each page with dramatic force and stirring emotion. The Rhinegold illustrations were a grand achievement in the continuing evolution of the artist’s style. Unlike many of his other books his Wagnerian illustrations were not geared to a child audience. He wrote to a twelve year old fan “I am very glad you like my illustrations. I am rather afraid that the books of mine that are coming out this year and next which illustrate Wagner’s great Music-stories the ‘Ring of the Nibelungs’ are not very well suited for those lucky people who haven’t yet finished the delightful adventure of growing up but soon perhaps you will know and be fond of Wagner’s music and writings and then you may like these drawings of mine as well as the others.â€-from Derek Hudson.<br> The artist invites us intimately into the heroic realm of the Norse Myths with his seemingly inexhaustible creative imagination. We sense a timeless serenity and repose in his “Freia the fair one†and are swept into the charged drama as “Fasolt suddenly seizes Freia and drags her to one side with Fafner.†We enter the mystical realm of heavenly despair in “The Gods grow wan and aged at the loss of Freia†and cringe at the gnarled suffering we witness in “Mime howling.†And how can we ever forget the haunting portrait of the horde of enslaved “Nibelungs laden with gold and silver treasure†as with tortured anguished faces they hoist their bounty The range of human and heroic emotion conveyed within these 64 extraordinary illustrations graphically invokes the genius of Wagner’s literary masterpiece and demonstrates once again Rackham’s preeminence in the realm of illustration.

First editions of these two works reproducing and detailing the famed 1888 Cyclorama panorama by the noted architect Buhlmann and artist Alexander von Wagner designed and intended to feed public appetite for visual spectacle in the 19th Century prior to the emergence of film and cinema. With exquisite attention to detail this massive piece emulated the performance Cycloramas touring the Americas and Europe such as the “Battle of Gettysburg†“Missionary Ridge†and offered the viewers an immersive experience. This triumph capped the victorious 312 A.D. campaign by Emperor Constantine in which he had defeated the competing Emperor Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge where Constantine had his vision of the Cross and converted to Christianity and adopted the banner standard bearing the initial letters in the name of Christ. Of additional interest is that even though the original was eventually destroyed von Wagner’s & Buhlmann’s work inspired Yadegar Asisi to create his massive 27 meter by 107 meter 2014 panorama opened in Dresden at the Dresden Panorama Museum where Rome’s cityscape can be viewed from a tower below a dome.
