Edmund Dulac (1882–1953) was born in Toulouse, France, but began his career as an illustrator after moving to London around 1904 (HRC). His lush images combine elements from multiple art movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially the fluid, organic forms of Art Nouveau and the asymmetrical, surprising compositional structures of Japanese printmaking.
