Daughters of the Stars, by Mary Crary 

Edmund Dulac's "Daughters of the Stars" is a dreamy illustration reminiscent of Art Nouveau and the romanticism of the early 20th century. The composition features a mother and daughter walking through the clouds towards a fantastical, white castle perched on a crescent moon, while a soldier, with a commanding presence, welcomes them with a wide gesture. Dulac's signature use of soft pastel colors and whimsical imagery is evident in this work, creating a whimsical and enchanted atmosphere. The illustration, likely intended for a children's book, captivates with its fairytale-like narrative and enchanting imagery, inviting viewers to embark on a journey through the boundless imagination of a childhood fantasy.
