Rene Bull's vibrant illustrations perfectly capture the intense drama of love and jealousy in Prosper MÃ©rimÃ©e's tale which was the basis for Georges Bizet's opera of the same title.

After working for various magazines he was appointed â€˜special' for Black and White 1896 attending the Armenian massacres and the Graeco-Turkish War as artist.He served in the First World War in RNVR 1916 and RAF 1917.
