DULAC (Toulouse 1882) "was primarily a painter and used the new technology's ability to reproduce exact tones to let the color hold the shape and define the object". In quest'opera, (1.a ed. ingl. 1908) appare" a brighter palette and a more oriental style - a permanent change in his approach". L'applicazione delle riproduz. su cartoncino per i pregiati gift books era stata inaugurata da Rackham nel 1905 per Rip Van Winkle: "The invention of the process we now call "color separation" made it possible to mass-produce color images and by 1905 they improved the process to create images that were very faithful to the originals. The only drawback was that they had to be printed on a special coated paper and therefore couldn't be bound into the book with the rest of the pages. They had to be tipped-in".
