EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the Maxwell 1865 edition of "Sindbad the sailor (Sinbad) - tale of the thousand and one (1001) nights" by Gustave Dore takes us on a visual journey into the fantastical world of Arabian folklore. In this particular scene, we find Sindbad in his fourth voyage, encountering a chilling predicament. As our hero arrives in an unfamiliar land, he unwittingly becomes entangled in a macabre tradition. When one spouse dies, their body is either lowered into a well or their surviving partner is imprisoned. Unfortunately for Sindbad, fate has led him to an underground necropolis filled with coffins and lifeless bodies. Dore's masterful engraving skillfully captures the eerie atmosphere of this tomb-like setting. The dim lighting casts haunting shadows across the scene as Sindbad navigates through rows upon rows of coffins containing remains that tell tales untold. This artwork not only showcases Dore's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power and allure of ancient folktales like "One Thousand and One Nights". It transports viewers to distant lands where mythical creatures roam and brave adventurers embark on extraordinary quests. Through this print, we are invited to delve deeper into Sindbad's perilous journey, immersing ourselves in both literature and artistry. It stands as a testament to Dore's ability to bring stories to life visually while honoring centuries-old traditions passed down through generations.
