Dulac's edition of Treasure Island was first published in 1927. Hughey notes that the twelve watercolours in the book "show a new Dulac style. Here he uses pale misty colours and creates little miniature gems of 18th century scenes... 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" (see Ann Conolly Hughey, Edmund Dulac - His Book Illustrations: A Bibliography, 1995)
