Edmund Dulac

Born in France, Dulac (1882-1953) spent most of his career in Britain. Most of these illustrations were done in 1904 to 1916. Above is an illustration from The Dreamer of the Dream, a book by the Queen of Romania, who was one of Victoria's granddaughters.

And A Circle of Mist from the queen's other book, Stealers of the Light

Stealers of Light



Illustrations from an edition of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám that appeared in 1909. I've seen first editions of this selling for $10,000 online.

The Firebird

Beauty and the Beast

Not sure where this comes from; I found it with the title Alone

"Alone" comes from an edition of Poe's poems (The Bells and other poems) illustrated by Dulac. There's a Calla facsimile edition, as well as the Rubaiyat and other books illustrated by Dulac (and Rackham, Clarke, Nielsen etc).
