Arthur Rackham (1867 ndash; 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the Golden Age of British book illustration which roughly encompassed the years from 1890 until the end of the First World War. During that period; there was a strong market for high quality illustrated books which typically were given as Christmas gifts. Rackhams work is often described as a fusion of a northern European Nordic style strongly influenced by the Japanese woodblock tradition of the early 19th century.

"Camps of Geneva Lake" - A vital ingredient of Lake Genevas historyBy cynthia wilson"Camps of Geneva Lake" is a must read and own for anyone who is interested in Lake Genevas rich history. Jill Westberg and Carolyn Smeltzer have compiled an exhaustive collection of photographs.stories and personal accounts of camp staff. attendees or their descendants.It is hard to imagine that at one time. Geneva Lake was home to as many as 18 camps. but with Chicago only 1 hr 45 minute train ride away. the popularity of the camps of Geneva Lake is easy to understand.Thank you. Jill Westberg and Carolyn Smeltzer for "Camps of Geneva Lake".Cynthia Wilson0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Must ReadBy Betty L. PapsI had the opportunity to review this book prior to publication and I just could not believe the amount of research that went into this memorable book. The authors did a great job combining history with images of the past camps life on Geneva Lake. The researched history along with the enduring stories of campers. volunteers and camp leadership is very interesting.I have been at the Lake for over three decades and was aware of the current camps. but did not realize the deep history of the beginnings of the camps in the 1870s and the number of the camps in total 18. This is a must!
