Illustrations offered as part of an online Sotheby’s (25/20/12.9% buyer’s premium) sale held in early December included a couple of Rackhams.
‘Hey! Up the Chimney, lass! Hey after you!’, the frontispiece to a 1907 Dent edition of The Ingoldsby Legends that depicts witches, black cats and Rob Gilpin spirallng into the air, sold just under the low estimate at £28,000 – only a shade more than it made when last sold in their rooms in 2003.
