Edmund Dulac is a British and French artist, book illustrator and graphic artist.
Edmund drew a lot since childhood and, after graduating as a lawyer, decided to take up art: he studied at the Toulouse Academy of Fine Arts and at the Academy of Julian. At the age of 22, he settled in London and received an order from the publisher J. M. Dent to illustrate the novel "Jane Eyre" and other works of the Brontë sisters. He then became a regular contributor to Pall Mall Magazine and joined the London Sketch Club, where he met the leading book and magazine illustrators of the day.
These acquaintances opened a wide road for the young talented artist. Dulac decorated many editions of Andersen's fairy tales, works by Shakespeare, Edgar Poe, Omar Khayyam and others with his magical pictures. Working with the famous animator Walt Disney, he participated in the development of the type of Snow White, and his most famous work is considered the image of the Princess Boudour.
Later, Dulac worked in a variety of fields, including newspaper cartoons, theatrical costumes and sets, medals, and even postage stamps, including those commemorating the coronation of King George VI (1937), the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, and the Summer Olympics (1948).
