"The Man of Law’s Tale of what Happened to Constance" published ,1942 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund Dulac. There was once an Emperor of Rome who had an orderly mind and loved God and pitied the heathen as became a Christian. His wife died young. He had one child, a daughter named Constance, lovely of soul and body, who took after her mother and gave no trouble. There ruled in Syria at the same time a young Sultan, a Saracen, who hated the Christian because his mother told him to, but otherwise was of a reasonable disposition and romantically inclined,..
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.
