Illustrated London News, 28 Nov. 1908, lot 758
Hodder and Stoughton produced a series of Shakespearian plays in quatro volumes, each illustrated by a different artist (ie. As You Like It from Hugh Thompson and Twelfth Night from Heath Robinson): Dulac's The Tempest released in November, 1908 for the Christmas market, was also timed to coincide with Leicester Galleries exhibition of the
original watercolors. In 1910 Hodder and Stoughton published The Tempest calendar, with six plates from the 1908 volume reproduced, and the first exhibition of Dulac's work in America, at Scott and Fowles in New York in 1916 included illustrations from The Tempest.
