"Ohe Ohe Horrible dragon, O swallow me not Spare the life of poor Loge" is an illustration by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham, created for the publication of "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" in 1910. This work is part of a series of illustrations that Rackham produced for Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle, "Der Ring des Nibelungen," which was adapted into a two-volume book by W. Heath Robinson and translated by Margaret Armour. Rackham's illustrations for this series are celebrated for their intricate detail, vivid imagination, and the way they capture the grandeur and drama of Wagner's operatic narrative.

The illustration depicts a scene from "Das Rheingold," the first of the four operas in the cycle, where the character Loge, the demigod of fire, pleads for his life in the face of a fearsome dragon. Rackham's mastery of pen and ink, combined with watercolor, brings to life the tension and peril of the moment, with the dragon's imposing form and Loge's expressive posture conveying the narrative's emotional intensity. The artwork is characteristic of Rackham's style, which often blended elements of fantasy with a dark, brooding atmosphere, making his work particularly well-suited to Wagner's mythic tales.

Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) was one of the most prominent illustrators of the early 20th century, known for his contributions to the Golden Age of Illustration. His work on "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" is considered among his finest, showcasing his ability to interpret complex stories through powerful visual imagery. The illustration is not only a testament to Rackham's artistic skill but also an important piece of cultural history, reflecting the early 20th-century interest in mythology and the revival of interest in Wagner's operas. Rackham's illustrations continue to influence artists and captivate audiences, remaining a significant part of the legacy of both visual art and operatic literature.
