Edmund Dulac's American Weekly Collection

These two editions contain all 106 watercolors Edmund Dulac contributed for the front covers of The American Weekly magazine from 1924-1951. The 100th Anniversary Edition displays all the front covers of the thirteen series, fully restored and in chronological order. This is especially useful for collectors and is the first time the entire collection has ever been reproduced in one volume. This is Dulac's largest collection of illustrations, and we are proud to be able to present it for the first time completely restored in full-color. This is available as an eBook and paperback.

Edmund Dulac His American Weekly Collection has an Introduction written by Dulac scholar and bibliographer Ann C. Hughey, and many illustrations and images from her personal collection. Only the front cover for each series is reproduced in full, and the rest of the series illustrations are cropped and restored with their original magazine captions. Several originals and preliminary drawings by Dulac are showcased. This is only available in print editions, due to the large file size.
