This illustration, titled "Shook his bald head and murmured, 'Cold, quite cold.'" is by English artist Arthur Rackham. Rackham was well known for his illustrative work for literary classics, such as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", "The Wind in the Willows", and "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This particular illustration shows the style he is known for: whimsical and fantastical characters with a slight sense of unease. The two characters in this image are clothed in elaborate and detailed garb, and the image is set in a muted, misty background, which adds a sense of isolation and mystery. This piece, like most of Rackham's works, would have been created in a pen and ink style, then reproduced in black and white. The illustration would have originally been printed in a book, though the specific publication is unknown.
