"Ivan and the Chestnut Horse" published on April1, 1932 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund Dulac. Prince Ivan was youngest and stupidest of three sons. But when his father died Ivan was the only son to go every day to his grave and read prayers over it. The King had a beautiful daughter whom he kept locked up at the top of a high tower. One day he announced that anyone who could jump his horse high enough to kiss the Princess could marry her. Ivan was sitting on his father’s grave when up rose his fathers spirit and an enchanted chestnut horse.
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.
