SONG OF SOLOMON CHAPTER 1, VERSE 8 Published in the American Weekly Sunday magazine April 12, 1936 painted by Edmund Dulac. Her companions advise the Shulamite woman, seeking her lover, who tends his flock, she knows not where, to follow the tracks of the sheep. “If thou knowest not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids besides the shepherd’s tents.”


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.
