The publication was created specifically to raise funds for the French Red Cross during WWI. French-born anglophile Edmond Dulac (1882-1953) was one of the most prized artists of the "golden age" of book illustration. A gifted artist, especially in the medium of watercolor, Dulac's ability to render luxurious detail and subtle emotions is otherworldly. He is best known for his illustrations for books and magazines, although he also designed for the stage and wrote music; in moments of financial insecurity he produced serialized cartoons and became an authority on postage stamp design (White).
