September 19 is the birthday of the English illustrator of children's books ARTHUR RACKHAM (1867-1939). He is recognised as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator.

September 19 is the birthday of Mexican ballet choreographer and founder of the world-renowned Ballet Folklórico de México AMALIA HERNÁNDEZ (1917-2000). She was a pioneer in developing Baile Folklorico, and in 1952, Hernández founded the Mexican Folkloric Ballet with only 8 dancers. By 1959, the ensemble had grown to 60 performers. It was commissioned to represent Mexico at the Pan American Games in Chicago, Illinois, in 1959. Hernández created over 60 choreographies in her lifetime. To see her ballet “Huapango,” CLICK HERE.
