EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts the legendary Sinbad and his companions on the back of a majestic whale, as they embark on their thrilling adventures. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this artwork showcases the rich imagination and storytelling prowess of that era. The scene captures Sinbad, a renowned character from Arabic folklore, along with his loyal comrades riding atop the massive creature amidst crashing waves. The educational card, dating back to either late 19th or early 20th century, beautifully illustrates this iconic moment from Sinbad's tale. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world filled with wonder and excitement. The vibrant colors bring to life the Arabian Sea where Sinbad's story unfolds. The wreckage floating around them hints at previous encounters and challenges faced by these intrepid sailors. The presence of various marine mammals such as humpback whales and Greenland whales adds depth to this maritime tableau. It reminds us of the diverse wildlife found in our oceans and highlights how integral these creatures were to Arab civilization during that time. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers an opportunity for viewers to delve into ancient tales passed down through generations. It is a testament to both human creativity and our enduring fascination with stories of adventure on land and sea alike.
