"Arabian Nights' Entertainments"
Illustrated by Edmund Dulac
Dulac's illustrations described as "Arabian Nights' Entertainments" are drawn from a suite of images shown at the
Edmund Dulac Memorial Exhibition at the Leicester Galleries in 1953. Those images were also published as a series in
The Illustrated London News.
For all his life, Dulac maintained an interest in Oriental art - and his illustrations for "Arabian Nights' Entertainments"
capture the imagined colour and glamour of the East.

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.
