Sindbad the Sailor and other Stories from The Arabian Nights (1914)

Illustrated by Edmund Dulac

 

 

 

On the left, we show a rare copy of the 1st Edition of

Sindbad the Sailor and other Stories from The Arabian Nights with illustrations by Edmund Dulac - published by

Hodder & Stoughton (London) in 1914.

 

This example retains the original decoratively blue- and

maroon-stamped beige cloth cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the right, we show the decorated Title Page

to designs prepared by Edmund Dulac.

 

 

The deluxe presentation of Dulac's illustrations to Sindbad the Sailor and other Stories from The Arabian Nights was published

by Hodder & Stoughton in 1914 (engraved and printed by Henry Stone & Son, Limited [Banbury]). For the 1st Edition,

Dulac's 23 wonderful colour illustrations were mounted as tipped-in plates within ornamental black- and gold-stamped

borders.

 

Tales appearing within Sindbad the Sailor and other Stories from The Arabian Nights include: "Sindbad the Sailor"; "Aladdin

and the Wonderful Lamp"; "The Story of the Three Calenders"; and "The Sleeper Awakened".

 

Stylistically, Dulac approached the illustrations with a mix of themes inspired from the Near and Far East. It makes for a

wonderful suite of images.

 

 

Our Greeting Cards and Reproduction Prints

 

 

For connoisseurs of Dulac's work, we have prepared sets of 23 Greeting Cards displaying each of his colour images for Sindbad the Sailor and other Stories from The Arabian Nights and on the left, we show an example of how these Greeting Cards appear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Code: ED SSSAN CS(23)
Price: US$115.00

 

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished and and the images are presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each

card carries information about Edmund Dulac, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior

of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

 

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below.

Each of these large format prints is also accompanied by information about Edmund Dulac, this suite and the profiled

illustration.
