Dulac, a French-born artist who settled in London, became a central figure in the early twentieth-century boom of gift-book publishing. His approach to these tales favoured a synthesis of Persian miniature aesthetics and European watercolour techniques, moving away from the stark black-and-white lines of the Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition depicts a rider mounted upon a horse, suspended within a cloud-filled sky. The figure wears a turban and flowing garments that catch the wind, suggesting rapid movement through the air. Dulac employs a palette dominated by cool blues, greys, and purples, which creates a sense of nocturnal atmosphere. The moon, rendered as a pale, luminous disc, provides the primary light source for the scene. The horse is depicted with a degree of stylisation, its form simplified to emphasise the grace of its posture against the vast, atmospheric backdrop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to evoke a sense of wonder through colour. In this work, the application of watercolour allows for soft transitions between the dense, shadowy clouds and the lighter areas surrounding the moon. The artist avoids heavy outlines, preferring to define forms through subtle shifts in tone and colour. This technique contributes to the ethereal quality of the image, aligning with the fantastical nature of the source material. The work remains a representative example of the high production standards found in Edwardian-era illustrated literature, where the artist held equal status to the author in the creation of the final volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58598923960655,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58598925599055,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58598925631823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58598925664591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58598925697359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58598925730127,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58598925762895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58598925795663,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58598925828431,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58598925861199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58598925893967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58598925926735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Arabian-Nights_-Daylight-Faded-from-View_Poster_CompositorV1_1788008048683.jpg?v=1788008218"},{"product_id":"elves-and-fairies-illustration-for-the-tempest-edmund-dulac","title":"Elves and Fairies (Illustration for The Tempest) - Edmund Dulac","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate watercolour illustration by Edmund Dulac, depicting ethereal figures in flight against a moonlit sky for Shakespeare's The Tempest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Edmund Dulac serves as a visual interpretation of William Shakespeare's play, The Tempest. Produced during the early twentieth century, the piece captures a nocturnal scene where ethereal figures navigate the air against a moonlit sky. Dulac, a central figure in the Golden Age of Illustration, utilised his training in fine art to create compositions that balance narrative clarity with atmospheric depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dominated by a cool, monochromatic blue palette, which establishes a sense of quiet mystery. The figures, depicted with delicate wings and fluid forms, are arranged in a vertical flow that draws the eye upward toward the moon. Dulac employs a refined technique, using thin washes of colour to suggest the translucency of the wings and the soft glow of the lunar light. The lower portion of the frame provides a grounding element, showing a dark, silhouetted terrain that contrasts with the lighter, more airy upper section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's approach to this subject reflects the period's fascination with folklore and literary themes. His work for various gift books during this era helped define the aesthetic of early twentieth-century fantasy art. By focusing on the interplay between light and shadow, he creates a sense of movement that suggests the fleeting nature of the subjects. The figures appear suspended in a moment of transition, their forms blending into the surrounding atmosphere. This print captures the specific technical skill Dulac brought to his book illustrations, where the goal was to complement the text while maintaining a distinct visual identity.

His work for this volume demonstrates his ability to synthesise Persian motifs with the aesthetic sensibilities of the European fin de siècle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition depicts a domestic scene within an architectural setting defined by pointed arches and tiled surfaces. A woman stands to the right, pouring liquid from a vessel into a bowl held by a seated man. The figures are rendered with delicate line work and a palette of muted earth tones, soft blues, and ochres. Dulac employs a flat, decorative approach to the space, which draws inspiration from Persian miniature painting while maintaining the illustrative clarity required for high-quality book production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's approach to the Rubaiyat is characterised by a sense of quiet observation.

His work often moved away from strict realism, favouring instead a stylised aesthetic that prioritised mood and narrative atmosphere. This piece demonstrates his technical control over the medium, particularly in the handling of light on the armour and the subtle gradations within the dark, swirling backdrop. The illustration remains a representative example of the period's fascination with romanticised, historical, and fantasy subjects in book production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/annunciation-richard-earlom\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnnunciation - Richard Earlom — Richard Earlom\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58598992511311,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599000932687,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599000965455,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599000998223,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599001030991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599001063759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599001096527,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599001129295,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599001162063,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599001194831,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599001227599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599001260367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Eldorado_Poster_CompositorV1_1788009665973.jpg?v=1788009846"},{"product_id":"a-loaf-of-bread-the-rubaiyat-of-omar-khayyam-edmund-dulac","title":"A Loaf of Bread, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam - Edmund Dulac","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn evocative watercolour illustration by Edmund Dulac from his 1909 edition of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, capturing a quiet, contemplative moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis illustration by Edmund Dulac originates from his 1909 edition of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Dulac, a French-born artist who settled in London, became a central figure in the early twentieth-century boom of gift-book publishing. His approach to the Rubaiyat reflects the period's fascination with Orientalism, a style that often blended Persian motifs with European aesthetic sensibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition depicts a man and a woman resting beneath the boughs of a tree, a scene that captures the contemplative nature of the poem. Dulac employs a muted colour palette, relying on earthy ochres, soft greens, and deep browns to ground the figures within their environment. The woman leans against the tree trunk, her gaze directed toward the man who reclines on the grass. Beside him sits a simple clay jug and a loaf of bread, direct references to the famous quatrain regarding the necessities for a contented life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac uses fine, precise brushwork to define the textures of the clothing and the gnarled bark of the tree. The background features a crescent moon, which adds a sense of quietude to the outdoor setting. Unlike the more decorative work of his contemporaries, Dulac focuses on the narrative atmosphere of the text. The figures appear integrated into the landscape, with the foliage framing the scene to create a sense of intimacy. This print demonstrates his technical skill in watercolour, particularly in his ability to manage light and shadow within a complex, multi-layered composition.

The male figure, dressed in robes adorned with paisley motifs, raises a chalice, while the female figure holds a vessel.

This work demonstrates the artist's mastery of the decorative style that defined his career during the early twentieth century. Dulac, a French-born illustrator who settled in London, became known for his ability to synthesise Eastern and Western aesthetic traditions. His work often drew upon Persian miniatures and Japanese woodblock prints, which he adapted to suit the tastes of the British gift-book market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this composition, the scene depicts a boat upon stylised, rhythmic waves. The figures are rendered with a flat, graphic quality, prioritising clear outlines and bold colour blocks over realistic modelling. The palette is dominated by a striking vermilion red, which provides a visual anchor for the figures and the boat structure. The central figures, adorned with jewellery and traditional headpieces, occupy a cushioned area of the vessel, while a male figure kneels to interact with a large, patterned fish. The inclusion of the dragon-headed prow adds a mythological dimension to the narrative, typical of the exotic themes found in the literature of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's technique involves precise ink lines that define the forms, filled with flat washes of colour.

By stripping away unnecessary detail, Dulac focuses the viewer's attention on the interplay of shape and colour.

Published in 1911, the image captures a quiet, domestic moment between a grandmother and her grandchild. The composition is dominated by a large, leaded glass window that functions as a narrative frame. Through the panes, one observes a stylised depiction of the biblical tree of knowledge, complete with a serpent, which provides a thematic backdrop to the grandmother's storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac employs a muted, earthy palette that reflects the interior setting. The figures are rendered with a focus on silhouette and gesture, while the window itself exhibits a geometric, almost mosaic-like quality. The contrast between the dark, heavy robes of the grandmother and the lighter, more fluid lines of the child creates a sense of intimacy. The floor, tiled in a simple checkerboard pattern, anchors the scene, providing a sense of physical space within the otherwise dreamlike atmosphere of the fairy tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a practitioner of the Golden Age of Illustration, Dulac was known for his ability to synthesise diverse influences, including Persian miniatures and Japanese woodblock prints. In this piece, the influence of stained glass design is evident in the way the window is partitioned. The work demonstrates his technical precision with watercolour, using layered washes to achieve depth without sacrificing the clarity of the line.

Created for a 1911 edition of the author's stories, the work demonstrates Dulac's mastery of atmospheric colour and composition. The princess is perched atop a towering stack of mattresses, her small figure dwarfed by the sheer height of the bed. Dulac employs a muted, moody palette to suggest the interior of a medieval chamber, using deep purples, teals, and earthy tones to construct the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dominated by the verticality of the four-poster bed, which draws the eye upward to the princess. Dulac uses fine, precise brushwork to render the textures of the various quilts and the heavy fabric of the canopy. The lighting is soft and directional, emanating from the candles in the foreground, which casts long shadows and creates a sense of quiet intimacy. The background features a suggestion of wall hangings, adding to the period atmosphere of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was a central figure in the early twentieth-century British illustration scene.

It captures the moment the Eastwind carries a prince across the sky towards the mythical garden. Dulac, a master of early twentieth-century book illustration, employs a delicate watercolour technique that balances narrative clarity with atmospheric depth. The composition focuses on the dynamic movement of the Eastwind, whose large, feathered wings dominate the upper portion of the frame. Below, a stylised town with domes and minarets is rendered in muted tones, suggesting a distant, exotic geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's work is defined by his ability to synthesise diverse visual influences. His training in France and subsequent career in London allowed him to integrate elements of Persian miniature painting and Japanese woodblock prints into his European illustrative style. The figure of the Eastwind displays a specific attention to costume and character, reflecting the artist's interest in theatricality and folklore. The colour palette remains restrained, relying on soft blues, greens, and earthy browns to create a sense of ethereal flight. This piece was produced during the height of the gift-book era, a period when high-quality colour printing allowed artists to reach a wide audience through luxury editions of classic literature.

Dulac was a central figure in the early twentieth-century movement of gift-book illustration, a period defined by the production of high-quality, colour-plate volumes. His work for this specific publication is often considered his most successful contribution to the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a potter at work, a subject that mirrors the philosophical themes of transience and creation found within the verses of the poem. Dulac employs a muted palette, relying on soft ochres, dusty blues, and terracotta tones to evoke the atmosphere of a bustling marketplace. His technique combines precise ink outlines with delicate watercolour washes, a method that allows for both narrative clarity and atmospheric depth. The composition is structured to draw the eye toward the central figure of the potter, whose hands are positioned over the clay, while the surrounding figures provide a sense of scale and activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's approach to the Rubaiyat was heavily influenced by Persian miniature painting, yet he adapted these stylistic elements to suit the expectations of the Edwardian reading public. The figures are rendered with a degree of naturalism that balances the decorative requirements of the book page.

Edmund Dulac, a French-born illustrator who settled in London, produced this work during the height of his career as a book illustrator. The image depicts a dramatic confrontation between a war elephant and a chariot, rendered with the precise line work and flat colour application that defined his mature style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac drew inspiration from Persian miniatures and Eastern art traditions, which is evident in the stylised treatment of the clouds, the decorative patterns on the elephant's trappings, and the rhythmic arrangement of the figures. The composition balances the massive, textured form of the elephant against the agile, smaller chariot, creating a sense of narrative tension. The palette relies on muted earth tones, punctuated by the specific blues and reds of the military equipment, which provides a sense of historical distance and exoticism common to the period's fascination with Eastern tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his earlier, more ethereal fairy-tale illustrations, this work demonstrates a shift toward a more graphic, structured approach.

The use of ink outlines to define the forms allows the watercolour washes to remain clear and distinct, a technique that translated well to the high-quality colour printing processes of the early twentieth century.

The mermaid, adorned with a delicate floral crown, supports the unconscious prince as they are buffeted by the ocean. Dulac employs a palette dominated by deep teals, sea greens, and frothy whites to convey the power of the water. The brushwork is fluid, suggesting the constant motion of the waves while maintaining a sense of stillness in the expressions of the characters. The artist uses light to draw attention to the faces of the figures, creating a contrast against the darker, swirling depths of the surrounding sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's approach to this subject avoids excessive ornamentation, choosing instead to focus on the emotional weight of the rescue. His technique involves layering thin washes of watercolour to build depth and texture, particularly in the rendering of the water's surface. The work reflects the stylistic preferences of the period, where illustrators sought to create immersive visual accompaniments to literary texts. By focusing on the interaction between the two figures, Dulac captures the tension of the moment, providing a visual interpretation that remains faithful to the original narrative. This print offers a view into the technical skill of an illustrator who helped define the aesthetic of early twentieth-century book production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/samarkande-plate-6-compositions-in-the-oriental-style-emile-allain-seguy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSamarkande (Plate 6, Compositions in the Oriental Style) - Émile-Allain Séguy — Émile-Allain Séguy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599196492111,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599233978703,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599234011471,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599234044239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599234077007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599234109775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599234142543,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599234175311,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599234208079,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599234240847,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599234273615,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599234306383,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Little-Mermaid-Saved-the-Prince_Poster_CompositorV1_1788012491263.jpg?v=1788012856"},{"product_id":"out-of-this-world-stealers-of-light-edmund-dulac","title":"Out of This World (Stealers of Light) - Edmund Dulac","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate fantasy illustration by Edmund Dulac, created for the 1924 fairy tale 'Stealers of Light' by Marie, Queen of Romania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis illustration by Edmund Dulac was created for the 1924 publication of 'Stealers of Light', a fairy tale written by Marie, Queen of Romania. Dulac, a French-born artist who became a naturalised British citizen, was a central figure in the early twentieth-century book illustration movement. His work is recognised for its synthesis of diverse visual traditions, including Persian miniature painting and Japanese woodblock prints, which he adapted to suit the tastes of the Edwardian and post-war British public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a central female figure playing a stringed instrument, positioned against a dark, stylised forest background. Dulac employs a flattened perspective, prioritising decorative quality over realistic spatial depth. The trees are rendered with organic, amoebic forms that create a sense of mystery, while the figure is draped in garments with geometric patterns reminiscent of folk textiles. The colour palette is restrained, relying on deep shadows and muted tones to contrast with the lighter, ethereal presence of the musician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's technique involves precise line work combined with delicate washes of watercolour. This approach allows for a balance between the graphic clarity of the ink outlines and the soft, atmospheric quality of the paint. The image reflects the period's interest in escapist literature and the decorative potential of the printed page. By integrating the figure into the surrounding environment through shared patterns and tonal harmony, Dulac creates a cohesive, dreamlike scene that aligns with the narrative themes of the Queen's writing. This print captures the specific aesthetic of the 1920s gift book market, where high-quality colour plates were essential to the appeal of luxury editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/samarkande-plate-6-compositions-in-the-oriental-style-emile-allain-seguy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSamarkande (Plate 6, Compositions in the Oriental Style) - Émile-Allain Séguy — Émile-Allain Séguy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599222509903,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599229227343,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599229260111,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599229292879,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599229325647,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599229358415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599229391183,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599229423951,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599229456719,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599229489487,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599229522255,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599229555023,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Out-of-This-World-Stealers-of-Light-_Poster_CompositorV1_1788012246780.jpg?v=1788013014"},{"product_id":"all-are-but-stories-edmund-dulac","title":"All are but Stories - Edmund Dulac","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined illustration by Edmund Dulac from his 1909 edition of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, depicting scholars in a moment of quiet study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis illustration by Edmund Dulac originates from his 1909 edition of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The work depicts a group of scholars engaged in debate or study, reflecting the philosophical themes of the poem.

One man stands, holding an open book, while others gesture or peer through a telescope, suggesting a pursuit of knowledge or celestial observation. Dulac employs a muted, earthy palette, which allows the subtle variations in the robes and the textures of the figures to emerge. His line work is precise, defining the facial features and the folds of the garments with clarity. The composition is relatively flat, avoiding deep perspective in favour of a decorative arrangement that echoes the style of illuminated manuscripts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his ability to translate complex literary narratives into visual form.

This print captures the quiet intensity of the scholars, providing a window into the intellectual world described by Khayyam.

Dulac, a central figure in the early twentieth-century British illustration scene, produced these plates during a period when the public appetite for exotic, orientalist themes was high. His approach to the text combines a delicate use of watercolour with a precise, calligraphic line, creating a visual narrative that complements the lyrical nature of the poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a woman leaning over a stone wall, surrounded by climbing roses. Dulac employs a soft, muted palette to suggest the atmosphere of a Persian garden. The architectural elements in the background, including a domed structure and slender cypress trees, provide a sense of place while maintaining a dreamlike quality. The figure is rendered with careful attention to her attire and jewellery, reflecting the artist's interest in historical costume and decorative detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his ability to integrate figures into their environment, using foliage and architectural motifs to frame the subject. In this work, the roses serve as both a decorative element and a framing device, drawing the eye toward the central figure. The application of paint is controlled, allowing for subtle gradations of colour that define the forms without relying on heavy shading. This print captures the aesthetic sensibilities of the Edwardian era, where the influence of Persian miniature painting was often filtered through a European lens.

Edmund Dulac, a French-born illustrator who settled in London, created this work during a period when his style shifted from traditional fairy-tale illustration toward a more decorative, stylised aesthetic influenced by Persian miniatures and Eastern art forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a large, white elephant positioned against a simplified, earthy terrain. Atop the animal, a figure with blue skin, reminiscent of depictions of the Hindu deity Krishna, interacts with a reclining woman. The figures are rendered with fine, precise lines and flat colour application, typical of Dulac's mature period. The woman is draped in a large, shell-like form, which serves as a visual pun on the title of the book. The trees in the background are depicted as stylised, rounded shapes, contributing to the overall ornamental quality of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's technique in this work demonstrates his mastery of watercolour.

The palette is carefully balanced, with the stark white of the elephant providing a neutral base for the blues, greens, and soft pinks of the central figures. The work avoids heavy shading, opting instead for a clear, graphic clarity that prioritises decorative harmony over realistic depth.

The composition reflects his mastery of decorative form and his ability to synthesise diverse visual influences, ranging from Persian miniature painting to the aesthetic traditions of the Orient. Dulac was known for his precise control of watercolour, a medium he utilised to achieve both clarity of line and atmospheric depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a celestial narrative, where figures are suspended against a deep, star-filled sky. The central figure, draped in a mantle adorned with star motifs, carries a child, while others reach upward from a dense, stylised foliage base. The architecture in the background provides a geometric contrast to the fluid, floating forms of the figures. Dulac employs a palette dominated by deep blues and purples, which allows the lighter tones of the skin and the white architectural elements to emerge with clarity.

The work depicts a personification of night, a figure draped in star-patterned fabric, hovering above a solitary structure. Dulac, a French-born artist who spent most of his career in Britain, became a central figure in the early twentieth-century gift book market. His approach to this commission involved a synthesis of Persian miniature aesthetics and the atmospheric techniques common to European watercolourists of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a vertical orientation, placing the ethereal figure in the upper register while a small, domed building sits in the lower portion, partially obscured by mist. The figure's garments merge with the darkness of the sky, creating a visual link between the celestial and the terrestrial. Dulac utilised a muted palette, dominated by deep blues, greys, and soft greens, which allows the white stars on the figure's robe to provide a subtle contrast. The application of paint is delicate, showing the artist's control over the medium to suggest both the solidity of the architecture and the weightless quality of the night figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis illustration reflects the period's fascination with Orientalism and the romanticised interpretation of Eastern literature. Dulac's work for the Rubaiyat is often cited for its technical precision and its ability to capture the melancholic tone of the poetry. The image functions as a visual interpretation of the text, rather than a literal depiction, focusing on the mood and the cosmic themes present in Khayyam's verses. The print captures the fine details of the original watercolour, preserving the texture of the paper and the subtle gradients of the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-body-of-elaine-on-its-way-to-king-arthurs-palace-gustave-dore\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Body of Elaine on Its Way to King Arthur's Palace - Gustave Doré — Gustave Doré\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jonge-man-op-klompen-young-man-in-clogs-jan-weissenbruch\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJonge man op klompen (Young Man in Clogs) - Jan Weissenbruch — Jan Weissenbruch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599331791183,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599334543695,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599334576463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599334609231,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599334641999,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599334674767,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599334707535,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599334740303,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599334773071,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599334805839,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599334838607,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599334871375,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Sleeve-of-Night_Poster_CompositorV1_1788015001509.jpg?v=1788015216"},{"product_id":"the-winds-tale-edmund-dulac","title":"The Wind's Tale - Edmund Dulac","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic fantasy illustration by Edmund Dulac, depicting a windswept scene from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdmund Dulac produced this illustration for a 1911 edition of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. The image depicts a scene from 'The Wind's Tale', where the atmosphere is heavy with the suggestion of movement and folklore.

The figure in the foreground is rendered with soft, delicate brushwork, typical of Dulac's approach to watercolour. He uses washes of colour to create depth, allowing the background to recede into a hazy, atmospheric distance while keeping the foreground details clear.

The palette relies on soft blues, purples, and muted creams, which provide a sense of period atmosphere. The composition uses the corner of the room to frame the subject, drawing the eye toward the figure while the papers create a foreground that suggests a narrative of overwhelming information or news.

Dulac was a central figure in the early twentieth-century movement of gift-book illustration, a period defined by high-quality colour plates produced through advanced printing techniques. His work for this volume is widely considered his most successful contribution to the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition depicts a reclining figure in a state of repose, positioned on a terrace overlooking a tranquil sea. Dulac employs a muted palette, favouring soft blues, dusty pinks, and subtle greys to create a dreamlike atmosphere. The presence of two white peacocks on the terrace wall adds a layer of symbolic elegance, a common motif in his work that draws upon Persian and Eastern aesthetic traditions. The architectural elements, including the slender column and the draped fabric, frame the scene, guiding the viewer's eye across the horizontal plane of the reclining figure toward the distant horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's technique involves precise line work combined with delicate washes of watercolour. He avoids heavy saturation, preferring a balanced approach that allows the paper texture to contribute to the overall effect. The influence of Persian miniature painting is evident in the flattened perspective and the decorative treatment of the textiles. This work demonstrates his ability to translate literary themes into visual narratives that maintain a sense of mystery and calm. The print captures the specific tonal qualities of the original watercolour, preserving the subtle gradients in the sky and the fine details of the peacock plumage.

His work for this volume demonstrates his mastery of the watercolour medium, employing a delicate application of pigment to achieve a sense of atmospheric depth and narrative clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition depicts an elderly figure seated upon an ornate throne, surrounded by attendants. Dulac draws upon Persian and Middle Eastern motifs, incorporating patterned textiles, traditional musical instruments, and architectural details that evoke a sense of historical distance. The artist balances the central figure with the surrounding figures, using the vertical lines of the staff held by the standing attendant to anchor the scene. His approach to colour is restrained, favouring muted tones that allow the subtle variations in the clothing and the intricate patterns of the floor covering to emerge without overwhelming the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his ability to synthesise diverse visual influences, including Persian miniature painting and European academic traditions.

Originally published in 1907, the work captures the precise instant a vessel encounters a jagged rock formation amidst turbulent waters. Dulac, a central figure in the early twentieth-century British illustration scene, utilised a refined watercolour technique to balance the narrative tension of the scene with a decorative approach to composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image displays the artist's characteristic attention to stylised form. The ship, rendered with a distinct, almost sculptural quality, contrasts against the fluid, rhythmic patterns of the sea. Dulac employs a muted colour palette, relying on earthy browns for the vessel and rocky outcrops, while the water is defined by swirling, semi-abstracted blue and grey tones. The sails, taut and angular, provide a geometric counterpoint to the chaotic motion of the waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was influenced by Persian miniatures and Japanese woodblock prints, which is evident in the flattened perspective and the careful arrangement of elements within the frame. Rather than attempting a realistic depiction of a shipwreck, he focuses on the atmospheric quality of the tale. The composition draws the eye across the frame, following the diagonal line of the mast and the forceful impact of the water against the hull. This piece reflects the high standards of book production during the Edwardian era, where the collaboration between author, illustrator, and publisher resulted in works of significant visual cohesion.

The work demonstrates his mastery of the watercolour medium, employing a delicate layering technique that creates a dreamlike atmosphere. Dulac, a central figure in the early twentieth-century British illustration scene, often drew upon Symbolist influences and the aesthetic traditions of the Orient to construct his visual narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a group of ethereal, winged figures ascending towards the upper reaches of the frame. Their faces are turned upward, suggesting a collective gaze toward a celestial source. Below them, a dark, wrought-iron structure frames a pale moon, providing a stark contrast to the soft, muted tones of the figures above. The ironwork exhibits a rhythmic, curvilinear quality that echoes the flowing drapery and wings of the figures. Dulac uses a palette dominated by deep purples, soft blues, and muted golds, which contributes to the melancholic and mystical mood inherent in Poe's text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's approach to this illustration avoids literal representation, opting instead for a mood-driven interpretation of the poem's auditory imagery. The figures appear weightless, their forms blending into the surrounding atmosphere. This work reflects the artist's ability to synthesise literary themes with a highly decorative visual language. The attention to detail in the ironwork, combined with the fluid rendering of the figures, captures the transition between the physical world and the imaginative realm. As a piece of book illustration, it functions as a visual accompaniment to the rhythmic cadence of the poem, providing a quiet, contemplative space for the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hyde-park-john-martin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHyde Park - John Martin — John Martin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bridge-red-roofs-and-old-tower-pisa-joseph-lindon-smith\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBridge, Red Roofs and Old Tower, Pisa - Joseph Lindon Smith — Joseph Lindon Smith\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599538491727,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599541014863,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599541047631,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599541080399,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599541113167,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599541145935,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599541178703,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599541211471,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599541244239,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599541277007,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599541309775,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599541342543,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Bells_Poster_CompositorV1_1788015941206.jpg?v=1788018150"},{"product_id":"the-little-mermaid-dissolving-into-foam-edmund-dulac","title":"The Little Mermaid: Dissolving into Foam - Edmund Dulac","description":"\u003cp\u003eA haunting illustration by Edmund Dulac depicting the final scene of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, rendered in delicate watercolour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdmund Dulac produced this illustration for a 1911 edition of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales.

The figure of the mermaid appears partially submerged, her form beginning to lose its definition against the rhythmic patterns of the waves.

Dulac employs a muted, earthy palette, relying on soft purples, ochres, and sage greens to evoke the twilight setting described in the poem. His technique combines precise, calligraphic ink outlines with delicate watercolour washes, a method that allowed for the reproduction of fine detail in the printed volumes of the era.

Dulac, a central figure in the early twentieth-century British illustration scene, produced this work during a period when his style moved away from the decorative influence of Art Nouveau towards a more atmospheric, moody aesthetic. The composition depicts a scene of quiet tension, where a recumbent figure lies upon the ground, watched by a spectral group of figures emerging from the shadows. An owl, rendered with careful attention to its plumage, perches on a rocky outcrop, observing the encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette is restricted to deep blues, greys, and muted greens, which effectively convey the nocturnal setting. Dulac uses these tones to create a sense of depth, allowing the pale, luminous faces of the spectral figures to emerge from the darkness. The stars scattered across the upper portion of the frame provide a stark contrast to the heavy, flowing drapery of the figures, which seem to dissolve into the surrounding mist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his technical precision and his ability to translate literary narratives into visual form.

The composition is balanced, with the horizontal line of the sleeping figure anchored by the vertical presence of the owl and the clustered group of spirits. This piece demonstrates Dulac's capacity for creating a sense of mystery through subtle shifts in tone and light, rather than relying on overt action.

Edmund Dulac, a French-born illustrator who settled in London, created these images to accompany a text by Leonard Rosenthal. The work reflects the fascination with Eastern aesthetics that permeated European art during the early twentieth century. Dulac draws upon the traditions of Persian miniature painting, employing a flattened perspective and decorative treatment of natural forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition depicts a hunt, featuring two riders on horseback accompanied by cheetahs in pursuit of a wild boar. The figures are rendered with precise, calligraphic lines, while the colour palette relies on muted earth tones contrasted against areas of gold leaf and deep green. The trees, with their stylised, cloud-like foliage, demonstrate the artist's interest in non-Western visual languages. Unlike the realistic depth found in contemporary European oil painting, this image prioritises a decorative arrangement of shapes and patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was a central figure in the British gift-book market.

Dulac, a prominent figure in the early twentieth-century British publishing scene, produced these plates during a period when gift books with tipped-in colour illustrations were highly sought after by collectors. His approach to the Rubaiyat reflects a fascination with Persian aesthetics, filtered through the stylistic conventions of European illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a sombre interior, likely a tent or humble dwelling, where an elderly man attends to a reclining woman. Dulac employs a muted palette of earthy browns, dusty pinks, and soft ochres to establish the mood. The composition relies on the contrast between the stillness of the woman and the hunched, concerned posture of the man. His use of watercolour allows for subtle gradations of tone, particularly in the drapery of the clothing and the textures of the woven baskets surrounding the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his ability to synthesise diverse visual influences. In this work, the influence of Persian miniature painting is visible in the treatment of the figures and the flattened perspective of the interior space. However, the modelling of the faces and the soft handling of the light remain firmly rooted in the Western tradition of book illustration. The work captures a moment of quiet gravity, typical of the melancholic and philosophical themes found within the Rubaiyat. The attention to detail, from the small mortar and pestle in the foreground to the folds of the fabric, demonstrates the technical precision that defined Dulac's career as a book illustrator.

The image depicts the ethereal, spectral figure of the Snow Queen gliding above a snow-covered town. Dulac employs a cool, atmospheric palette to convey the biting chill of a winter evening. The townscape, rendered with steep gables and warm, glowing windows, provides a grounded contrast to the translucent, ghostly form of the Queen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his ability to synthesise diverse influences, including Persian miniatures and Japanese woodblock prints, into a cohesive decorative style. In this piece, the falling snow is captured through delicate, light-coloured flecks that create a sense of movement across the composition. The architecture of the town, with its gothic spire and timbered houses, evokes a sense of European folklore. The artist uses a refined application of watercolour to balance the heavy, solid forms of the buildings against the weightless, almost vaporous presence of the central character. This work demonstrates his mastery of narrative atmosphere, where the environment itself acts as a primary storyteller. The interplay between the warm light emanating from the houses and the icy blue tones of the night sky creates a visual tension that defines the scene. Dulac's technical precision allows for the fine details of the architecture to remain visible even under the heavy blanket of winter snow, maintaining a balance between representational accuracy and the fantastical nature of the subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/samarkande-plate-6-compositions-in-the-oriental-style-emile-allain-seguy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSamarkande (Plate 6, Compositions in the Oriental Style) - Émile-Allain Séguy — Émile-Allain Séguy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599733166415,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599736312143,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599736344911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599736377679,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599736410447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599736443215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599736475983,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599736508751,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599736541519,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599736574287,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599736607055,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599736639823,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Snow-Queen-Flies-Through-the-Winter-s-Night_Poster_CompositorV1_1788020244009.jpg?v=1788020420"},{"product_id":"the-tempest-ariel-and-the-bee-edmund-dulac","title":"The Tempest: Ariel and the Bee - Edmund Dulac","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate watercolour illustration by Edmund Dulac, depicting Ariel from Shakespeare's The Tempest amidst flowering jasmine and honeysuckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdmund Dulac produced this illustration for a 1908 edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. As a central figure in the early twentieth-century book illustration movement, Dulac utilised a refined watercolour technique to capture the ethereal nature of Ariel. The composition relies on a delicate balance between the negative space of the pale background and the precise, botanical rendering of the jasmine and honeysuckle branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAriel is depicted in a moment of quiet interaction with a bee, suspended amongst the flora. The artist employs a muted palette, favouring soft ochres, pale greens, and subtle blues to evoke a dreamlike atmosphere. His approach to the figure reflects the influence of both Pre-Raphaelite sensibilities and the decorative qualities of Japanese woodblock prints, which were widely collected by artists of his generation. The attention to the structure of the petals and the veins of the leaves demonstrates his background in traditional drawing, while the overall arrangement prioritises a sense of grace and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac's work for this publication helped define the visual identity of Shakespearean fantasy for contemporary readers. By focusing on the smaller, more intimate details of the play rather than the dramatic spectacle, he invites the viewer to observe the world of the spirit from a close perspective. The print captures the technical precision of his original watercolour, preserving the subtle washes and the fine line work that define his style.

The image captures a solitary figure standing upon a rugged outcrop, gazing into an expansive, atmospheric sky. Dulac employs a restrained palette, focusing on the interplay between the dark, silhouetted form of the individual and the ethereal, swirling clouds above. The composition relies on the contrast between the solid, textured earth and the fluid, almost nebulous quality of the air, creating a sense of quiet isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDulac was known for his ability to translate literary themes into visual narratives. His work often features a dreamlike quality, influenced by his interest in Orientalism and the decorative arts. In this piece, the figure is reduced to a simple shape, allowing the viewer to project their own interpretation onto the scene. The lack of specific detail regarding the figure's identity or surroundings encourages a focus on the mood of the work rather than a literal narrative. The brushwork is delicate, particularly in the rendering of the sky, where thin washes of colour suggest movement and depth without relying on heavy lines. This approach reflects the artist's technical proficiency with watercolour, a medium he favoured for its transparency and ability to convey subtle shifts in light. As a prominent figure in the British illustration scene during the Edwardian era, Dulac helped define the aesthetic of the gift-book market, where high-quality colour plates were essential to the appeal of luxury editions. This print offers a glimpse into his capacity for capturing emotional states through minimal visual cues, demonstrating his skill in balancing composition and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/old-woman-with-rags-james-mcneill-whistler\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eOld Woman with Rags - James McNeill Whistler — James McNeill Whistler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edmund Dulac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599794409807,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599796375887,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599796408655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599796441423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599796474191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599796506959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599796539727,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599796572495,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599796605263,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599796638031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599796670799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599796703567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Alone_Poster_CompositorV1_1788020775207.jpg?v=1788021098"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/edmund-dulac.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
