We hope you are as delighted with this long overdue presentation of Dulac’s American Weekly covers as we are in publishing it.
This eBook was produced with scans from high-quality photographs taken of each of the 106 covers of Hearst Corporation’s American Weekly magazine published between 1924 through the last series in 1951. The magazines were carefully removed from Bill Blackbeard's San Francisco Academy of Comic Art Collection in 1993 and professionally photographed one at a time. This is the first compilation of all thirteen of Dulac’s works in the American Weekly series. These beautiful paintings were an important part of Dulac's artistic output after World War I.
The collection was mentioned in detail in both Colin White’s biography of Dulac, Edmund Dulac, and in Ann Hughey’s Dulac bibliography, Edmund Dulac - His Book Illustrations: A Bibliography, however only a few of the covers were ever reproduced and no complete collection was ever published.
