EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Animal that came out of the sea and ate up all the food that Suleiman-bin-Daoud had" we are transported into a fantastical world inspired by Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories for Little Children. The illustration, created by Joseph Rudyard Kipling himself, takes us on an imaginative journey where a mesmerizing creature emerges from the depths of the ocean to devour all the food prepared by Suleiman-bin-Daoud for every animal in existence. The image depicts a bustling harbor scene with ships unloading and loading supplies. Amidst this busy activity, our attention is immediately drawn to the monstrous sea creature towering over everything else. Its immense size and ferocious presence make it clear why it was able to consume such vast quantities of food. As we examine the details within this lithograph, we can see small porgies being unloaded from ships while workers hurriedly load packages and boxes onto other vessels. The masts of these ships create a striking silhouette against the sky, adding depth to this enchanting composition. This artwork not only showcases Kipling's extraordinary storytelling abilities but also highlights his talent as an illustrator. It invites viewers to ponder upon themes of nature's power and mankind's vulnerability in face of unexpected challenges. Displayed within a private collection today, this timeless piece continues to captivate audiences with its intricate engravings and vivid portrayal of an extraordinary event from one of literature's most beloved tales.
