Catalogue Note
One (of twelve) colour illustrations reproduced in Dulac's 1927 edition of Treasure Island. Hughey notes in her bibliography of Dulac that 'the detailing and design of the pictures present some of Dulac's most careful and superb painting. He himself liked these illustrations best of all his work'.
