Edmund Dulac: Pictures for THE KINGDOM OF THE PEARL (AU ROYAUME DE LA PERLE)

In 1919, Léonard Rosenthal (1872-1955), an internationally respected and acclaimed dealer of oriental pearls and precious stones based in Paris,  published  Au Royaume de la Perle (Paris: Payot),  a volume with decorations by Claude Denis.

In 1920, Rosenthal commissioned Edmund Dulac (1882-1955) to provide illustrations for a large quarto deluxe edition. Published in Paris by H. Piazza. The book was immediately translated into English and published in London by Nisbet & Co.In the Kingdom of the Pearl Dulac used the conventional Persian style without perspective, rich in decorative forms and jewel like colours that bring out the beauty of minute things by the use of colour and graceful line.

Edmund Dulacs Bilder illustrieren eigentlich nicht den Inhalt des Buches, da dieses ein Sachbuch über Perlen darstellt wie z.B. die Kapitelüberschriften zeigen: I. LA PERLE DANS L'HISTOIRE, II. ORIGINE DE LA PERLE, III. LES PÊCHERIES DE PERLES etc.

Illustrations for books by Mead Schaeffer

Mead Schaeffer (July 15, 1898 – November 6, 1980) was an American illustrator active from the early to middle twentieth century.
Schaeffer was born in Freedom Plains, New York, in 1898, the son of Presbyterian preacher Charles Schaeffer and his wife Minnie. He grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. After completing high school, he enrolled in the Pratt Institute in 1916. At Pratt his teachers included Harvey Dunn and Charles Chapman. Dunn critiqued many of Schaeffer's early projects. While a student at Pratt, Schaeffer illustrated the first of seven 'Golden Boy' books written by L. P. Wyman. In 1922, at age 24, he was hired to illustrate a series of classic novels for publisher Dodd Mead. His work for Dodd Mead continued until 1930. The books that he illustrated during this period included Moby Dick, Typee, and Omoo by Herman Melville; The Count of Monte Cristo; and Les Misérables by Victor Hugo.

In 1930, Schaeffer turned his attention from fictional characters to real people depicted in real settings. During the 1930s and 1940s he received commissions from magazines including Good Housekeeping, McCall's, the Saturday Evening Post, The Ladies Home Journal, Country Gentleman, and Cosmopolitan. He produced 46 covers for the weekly Saturday Evening Post. His work as a war correspondent for the Post during World War II resulted in a well-known series of covers illustrating American military personnel (from Wikipedia).
