EDMUND DULAC
1882 - 1953
Edmund Dulac (born Edmond Dulac; October 22, 1882 – May 25, 1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer. During World War I, Dulac produced relief books, as well as illustrating magazines. He is also known for designing banknotes during World War II, and postage stamps - most notably those that heralded the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
Dulac was born in Toulouse, and studied law in his hometown. However, he later turned to the study of art the École des Beaux-Arts. In the early twentieth century, Dulac moved to London because of the wider publishing opportunities. He received his first commission in 1905 to illustrate the novels of the Brontë Sisters, an event which coincided with the new genre of illustrated gift books, in which color plates, printed on special coated paper that accommodated the new printing process, were “tipped in”, or placed between pages rather than being bound into the spine.
A new love...

What a wonderful find NR.
Such fine delicate work yet with a strong resonance.
I feel his work is familiar so as soon as I get a chance I will go and see if I can find him in any of my old books.
Ariel and the bee.
Look to the blowing rose from the The Rubaiyat

Oh, thanks for posting in here today, Mz MC, and reminding me of this lovely new thread! What an enchanting collection here already! Nice discovery, Mz NR. My two favourites so far are the little naked girl in the seashell (love how tiny she is and the expression of the fish gaping at her ) and the lady in white with the polar bears. I wonder what she holds in her hands?
