"Isabella of Bavaria" published May 20, 1934 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund Dulac. Isabella of Baveria was the Whoopie Queen of France. She married Charles VI in 1385. Twice she had the opportunity to become a great queen, and wrecked it each time by wild parties, gambling, flirtations-to put it mildly- and all around frivolous folly. The odd contradiction about Isabella is that she was a good child, and, until Charles went insane, a modest and devoted she took to every form of dissipation, lost huge sums at cards, and was put in prison twice.
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.
