Aeolus, god of winds, blew upon the rainbow and colored all the world. Just so the skillful colorists of Mohawk etc. Great picture of the god blowing color into a rug, held up under a rainbow by colorfully dressed Medieval peasants. Looks like a faun playing panpipes off in the woods.
Published in an unidentified 1920's magazine.
