Portrait of Edmund Dulac

French-British, 1882–1953

Edmund Dulac was a French-British Post-Impressionism artist. 7 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum. Edmund Dulac was born in Toulouse.

Edmund Dulac 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.
