The moment her shadowy form met his view he…made one grasshopper spring to the door–and was gone! 1911

Arthur Rackham’s 1911 illustration, *The moment her shadowy form met his view he…made one grasshopper spring to the door–and was gone!*, is a fine example of the artist's masterful black and white style, which often incorporates the use of hatching and cross-hatching. Rackham, known for his work on classic children's literature, is famous for capturing the eerie and fantastical through expressive lines and a sense of depth. The illustration's stark contrasts and shadowy figures bring to life a scene of terror and flight.
