Diana and Actaeon published May 14,1933 in the American Weekly magazine. Diana was the most modest of goddesses. She loved to hunt the bounding stag, but had no patience with men unless they were extraordinarily well behaved. She went about entirely surrounded by Puritanical maidens.

The offended goddess immediately changed him into a stag, crying, “Now try to tell anyone you’ve seen Diana without her clothes.” Actaeon fled. His dogs saw him, thought he was just another
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.
