Edmund Dulac (born Edmond Dulac 1882 – 1953) was a French magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer. Born in Toulouse, France, he began his career by studying law at the University of Toulouse. He also studied art, switching to it full-time after he became bored with law, and having won prizes at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He spent a very brief period at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1904 before moving to London. He was commissioned by the publisher J.M. Dent to "Jane Eyre." He then began an association with the Leicester Gallery and Hodder & Stoughton; the gallery commissioned paintings from Dulac which they sold; the rights to the paintings were purchased by Hodder & Stoughton, who used them as illustrations, publishing one book a year. Books produced under this arrangement include "Stories from The Arabian Nights (19070 with 50 colour images; and edition of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" (19080 wwith 40 colour images; "The Rubàiyàt of Omar Khayyam" (1909) with 20 colour images: "The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales" (1920) "Stories from Hans Andersen (1911) "The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe" (1912) with 28 colour images and numerous monotone images, and "Princess Badoura" (1913). Dulac became a naturalised British Citizen in 1912. During World War I he contributed to war relief books, including "King Albert’s Book" (1914), "Princess Mary’s Gift Book," and, unusually, his own "Edmund Dulac's Picture-Book for the French Red Cross" (1915) including 20 colour images. Hodder and Stoughton also published "The Dreamer of Dreams" (1915) including 6 colour images - a work composed by the then Queen of Romania. 1914 Illustration from King Albert's Book Illustration "True Spartan Hearts" for Princess Mary's Gift Book After the war, the deluxe edition illustrated book became a rarity and Dulac's career in this field was over. His last such books were "Edmund Dulac's Fairy Book" (1916) "The Tanglewood Tales" (1918) with 14 colour images, and "The Kingdom of the Pearl" (1920). His career continued in other areas however, including newspaper caricatures, portraiture. theatre costume design, bookplates, chocolate boxes, medals, and various graphics. 1917 Isidore de Lara watercolour and bodycolour 34.3 x 24.8 cm 1919 The Young Kaiser and Clemenceau pen and ink 25.4 x 19 cm ( probably from "The Outlook" ) Perfect Peace ( Mr Balfour ) A Reminiscence of San Remo pen and ink 25.4 x 17.8 cm Exhibited at Leicester Galleries 1920 Costume design for the character of Momus in the opera "Phebus and Pan" He also produced illustrations for The American Weekly, a Sunday supplement belonging to the Hearst newspaper chain in America and Britain's Country Life. Country Life Limited (London) published Gods and Mortals in Love (1935) (including 9 colour images) based on a number of the contributions made by Dulac to Country Life previously. The Daughter of the Stars (1939) was a further publication to benefit from Dulac's artwork - due to constraints related to the outbreak of World War II, that title included just 2 colour images. He continued to produce books for the rest of his life, more so than any of his contemporaries, although these were less frequent and less lavish than during the Golden Age. Halfway through his final book commission (Milton's "Comus"), Dulac died of a heart attack on 25 May 1953 in London. Biographical notes adapted from Wikipedia.

Pirouezè, the fairest and most honourably born. The lady advanced to meet him. A city among the Idles named Deryabar. The Princess Deryabar. At so arrogant a claim all the courtiers burst into loud laughter. Till the tale of her mirror contented her. She gave orders for the banquet to be served. So strange of form and so brilliant and diverse in hue. The damsel upset the pan. Supposing me asleep, they began to talk. Great was the astonishment of the vizier. Maidens on a white horse. The fisherman and the genie. The magic horse. The ship struck a rock. All this time the Princess had been watching the combat from the roof of the palace. As soon as he came in she began to jeer at him. Having transformed himself by disguise. He arrived within sight of a palace of shining marble. Then for the last figure of all she drew out the dagger. The Queen of the Ebony Isle.

He scampered across the sand and plunged right in among the foaming billows. They were constantly at war with the Cranes. Drawing his sword he rushed at the monster. Yet it was not so sweet as the song of the Syrens. They made haste to wallow down on all fours. On went the chariot, and King Pluto seemed greatly pleased to find himself once more in his own kingdom. But neither could Pan tell her what had become of Proserpina.
