Arthur Rackham's illustrations for The Sleeping Beauty (1920) by C. S. Evans are mostly executed in silhouette, but a souvenir drawing of the character Merlin dated Christmas 1920 and laid into a first edition of the book is decidedly not. Merlin, his expression visible, is shown intently thumbing through one of his "books of magic lore."
