"The Knight’s Tale of Emily’s Lovers" published ,1942 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund Dulac. Theseus, ruler of Athens, made war on the Amazons and carried off their Queen, Hippolita, if you remember your history. Once captured she gave up cheerfully and gave up war for matrimony, bringing to Athens her sister Emily, to have someone to talk to when Theseus might be busy. As it happened he was busy without delay. Before he reached the Athenen gate a delegation of widows waited upon him with a complaint that their husbands have been killed in a battle with Creon,..
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.
