Edmund Dulac
Edmund Dulac (born
Edmond Dulac; 22 October 1882 – 25 May 1953) was a
French-British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer. Born in
Toulouse, he studied law but later turned to the study of art at the
École des Beaux-Arts. He moved to London early in the 20th century and in 1905 received his first commission to illustrate the novels of the
Brontë Sisters. During World War I, Dulac produced relief books. After the war, the deluxe children's book market shrank, and he then turned to magazine illustrations among other ventures. He designed
banknotes during World War II and postage stamps, most notably those that heralded the beginning of
Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
