Perfect for many purposes, the image on this Poster is a wonderful illustration by Edmund Dulac (1882-1953) - one of the leading artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. It was published in a 1911 edition of The Illustrated London News.

Detail from the Poster (for reference purposes) is shown below.

Edmund Dulac displayed an artistic interest from an early age, with his favorite medium - watercolors - being established in his teenage years. Typically, Dulac's early illustrations for fairy tales from Scheherazadè, Shakespeare, Andersen and Stawell do not rely upon an ink line to hold the color as he approached the relatively new color printing medium as a colored ink drawing. Just prior to Dulac's first commissioned work at the age of 22, the color separation process had been perfected and ink lines bounding the color 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 color hold shapes and define objects. In 1913, the mellow, romantic blues that Dulac had tended towards a brighter palette and more oriental style that characterized his interpretation of fairy tales, myths and legend for the remainder of his life.
