Edmund Dulac is a French illustrator born in 1882. He started a career in law until he got bored with it and switched to art. After graduating he moved to England, started working for a publishing house, and illustrated his first story Rip Van Winkle. It was a success, and he started illustrating many different stories including Peter Pan, Arabian Nights, The Little Mermaid, and more. After the war, his books were not longer selling, but he did other things like design stamps for England (Oh, how far the mighty have fallen, Frenchy). After a decade or two of drawing for so many things including banknotes, he eventually died of a heart attack in 1953.
