Dulac (1882-1953), along with his English counterpart Arthur Rackham, was one of the two most sought-after book illustrators of the early 20th century. Dulac illustrated one edition each year for Hodder & Stoughton. This arrangement, starting in 1908, continued for several years and included editions of fairy tales, Edgar Allen Poe, and Shakespeare in large, elaborately-produced volumes with illustrations that utilized the latest color printing technologies of the time.
