1922 The Beloved Vagabond - William J. Locke (Jean Dulac illustration)John Lane The Bodley Head Publisher)

Some foxing and pulling and a couple of loose pages but complete. Beautiful illustration by Jean Dulac

Jean Dulac was a French artist and illustrator who worked primarily in the early 20th century. He was part of the Art Deco movement, known for his refined and elegant designs, often illustrating books, posters, and magazines. Dulac's work reflected the clean lines, ornamental style, and graceful forms associated with Art Deco, drawing on classical and mythological themes as well as contemporary fashion and culture.

Although he may not be as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, his illustrations captured the spirit of the period, showcasing a blend of luxury, beauty, and modernism that defined the Art Deco aesthetic. His works are often noted for their balance between detailed ornamentation and the streamlined, geometric qualities that were central to the movement.

Some confusion arises between Jean Dulac and Edmund Dulac, another famous illustrator of the time, though they are distinct individuals with different artistic approaches.
