Edmund Dulac (born Edmond Dulac; 1882 – 1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer.
As illustrator of Deluxe gift books during the first two decades of the twentieth century, both Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac inherited what the industrial age had made possible the generation before. Never before had the climate been so ideal for the creation of exquisitely manufactured luxury items. The industrial revolution had produced the technical means of reproducing colorful paintings and an acquisitive market to which these stunning objects could be sold. Children’s books were now items of beauty to be collected by adults, emblems of affluence and good taste.
