Fifty Rackham lots sent to auction by family descendants formed part of the book illustration section of a Sotheby’s (25/20/12.5% buyer’s premium) sale of December 11-12.
Sold at £42,000 was the final illustration (left) for the 1940, Limited Editions Club version of Wind in the Willows, as noted by Rackham’s daughter, Barbara, on the back of the board.
