---------- About the Illustrator----------

Edmund Dulac (1882–1953) was a French book illustrator prominent during the so called \"Golden Age of Illustration.\" Born in Toulouse, France, he began his career by studying law at the University of Toulouse, but also followed classes in the Ecole des Beaux Arts, eventually switching full time to art. In London, the 22-year old Frenchman was picked up by J.M. Dent and given a commission to illustrate the collected works of the Brontë sisters. He then began an association with the Leicester Gallery and Hodder & Stoughton; the gallery would commission paintings from Dulac and then sell the rights to Hodder & Stoughton, who would publish the books while the gallery would sell the paintings. Books produced under this arrangement by Dulac include Stories from The Arabian Nights (1907), Shakespeare\'s The Tempest (1908), The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (1909), The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales (1910), Stories from Hans Christian Andersen (1911), and Princess Badoura (1913). 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) and The Kingdom of the Pearl (1920). His career continued in other areas, including newspaper caricatures, portraiture, theatre costume and set design, bookplates, chocolate boxes, medals, and various graphics.
