"The Student’s Tale of Patient Griselda" published ,1942 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund Dulac. The Marquis of Saluces was young, handsome and well off. It is said that he is also charming, but we are not told in what way. Since he had the title his father must have been dead. His mother too perhaps; as you’ll see he had no discipline whatever. Hawking and hunting were his serious work, with conscientious eating and drinking at the proper hours, and lighter pastimes on the side. In brief, he was a gentleman, he knew horses better than philosophy,


In 1923, “Edmund Dulac, the Distinguished English Artist,” as he was billed on the covers, was contracted by the Hearst organization to paint watercolors for The American Weekly Sunday magazine. The contract lasted 30 years and Dulac painted 107 watercolors for thirteen different series until his last Arabian Nights in 1951.
