Above: The American Weekly-June 18, 1933

A rare surviving Henry Clive illustration painting used as the cover for the June 18,1933 edition of The American Weekly, a Randolph Hearst publication. Clive was often called upon to create serialized images of enchantresses that shared a thematic thread. This is one of those works – from a series of cupid inspired images that the artist created finding the sitters in the crossfire of cupids quiver. Accompanying rhyme by Carolyn Wells reads:
Said Cupid, I’ve often been told
You’re haughty and scornful and cold
I’ve broken my dart
On your hard, stony heart!
You’re mistaken, she said, it’s pure gold.
