No, I left the US in 2008 and moved to South America. I'm currently in Europe, where I started 50 years ago.

Yes, but only because the PRB is my favorite English art "period", and Godward was often included with them. I enjoy his neo-clasical style, like Alma Tadena and Leighton. Dulac only painted a few oil paintings and the majority of his work was watercolor and designed for photographic reproduction in books and magazines.

Hi Ray,
Good to hear from you. Yes, after 30 years I finally published an eBook of the Dulac American Weekly covers. I'm still working on a print edition, but the costs will be high for so many color pages. Please check it out on Amazon, and I have each of the thirteen series on etsy as a pdf.
I'll be in touch, stay well.

I´m not a writer per se, my goals are to bring back forgotten works originally published or not and make them available to today's readers as accessible and inexpensive eBooks. Dulac's delightful watercolors deserve to be seen and appreciated by a new audience of aficionados, so those are the first books I'm working on now.

I am going to publish two of Dulac's American Weekly series as stand alone books aimed for younger readers. Both his "Seven Tales of King Arthur´s Court" and his "Eight Canterbury Tales" are accompanied by delightful texts by American author John Erskine. These have been lost to readers since 1940 and I will be very glad to see them published again.
You can see a 'sneak peak' of King Arthur on Amazon's Vella. I posted the stories so you can read them for free. If you want to see the illustrations, they are on pdf at Dulacebooks on Etsy.

I have been working on The American Weekly Covers of Edmund Dulac since the early '90´s. I was a collector of his picture books and was interested in finding the covers he painted for the Hearst magazine. I managed to contact Ann Hughey who was finishing her self publication of Dulac´s bibliography and she helped me to find and photograph all 106 of the published covers from 1924-1951. The cost of self publishing a full color book was beyond my means and I failed to interest any publishers to back the project. So the transparencies sat idle until this year when I had them digitalized and published as an eBook. This is fulfilling my wish to have all his painting and drawings published and I hope his many fans enjoy his works as much as I do.
