Edmund Dulac (1882-1953) is one of the great artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration.

The Edmund Dulac Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Dulac's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

Dulac displayed an artistic interest from an early age, with his favourite medium -watercolours - being established in his teenage years. Typically, Dulac's early illustrations do not rely upon an ink line to hold the colour as he approached the relatively new colour printing medium as a coloured ink drawing. Just prior to Dulac's first commissioned work at the age of 22, the colour separation process had been perfected and ink lines bounding the colour to hide misregistration were no longer necessary. As Dulac was primarily a painter, he used that new technology's ability to reproduce exact tones to let the colour hold shapes and define objects.
