Poland a Nation by Edmund Dulac
Edmund Dulac's stirring vision resurrects Poland as a warrior nation reclaiming its sovereignty. A fierce Polish Hussar in traditional winged armour stands victorious over the slain black eagle of Germany, whilst the white eagle of Poland ascends triumphantly, a potent symbol of liberation and national rebirth.
Dulac, born in Toulouse and trained in France before becoming Britain's master of deluxe book illustration, brought his distinctive elegance to this 1917 government commission. The print captures a pivotal moment: Poland, partitioned and devastated by three empires throughout the war, emerges as an independent state through Allied victory. Dulac's composition transforms geopolitical upheaval into mythic triumph, celebrating the warrior spirit that refuses subjugation.
