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.

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.

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

illustration.
