"Selene and Endymion" published on March 22,1931 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund , the goddess of the moon, who the Romans called Luna, saw one night a handsome shepherd boy named Endymion sleeping on Mt. Latmos in Greece. She fell in love with him, and , to please her, Jupiter made Endymion the gift of perpetual youth, but because of the celestial modesty of the Goddess, he also cast him into a perpetual sleep so he would not embarrass Selene by looking at her. Endymion would never get old, but also he would never wake up to enjoy never getting old.
n 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.
