Arabian Nights Images - Oscar Fabrès
This lovely little book,
The Arabian Nights published by
Hyperion Press, New York, in 1944, was illustrated by
Oscar Fabrès.
According to the dust jacket, the artist
is one of the most famous Parisian cartoonists
and his drawings have a "light Gallic wit."
What could I possibly add to that?
The picture at right is captioned "The Princess sees the Talking Bird"
from the story "The Talking Bird, the Singing Tree, and the
Golden Water."
|
This is from "The Magic Horse"; the
caption is
"'Do not send me away,' he begged."
|
|
And here we have Morgiana, from "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves."
This one is captioned "She knew some danger lurked here."
|
|
|
And here she is again, doing our favorite thing:
"Morgiana dances before the disguised robber."

This is from "The Young King of the Black Isles."
