EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Arthur David McCormick, we are transported into the mystical world of "The Arabian Nights Entertainments". The scene depicts a sepulchre where a man lies fast asleep, unaware of the magical encounter about to unfold. As if emerging from thin air, a genie materializes before him, his ethereal form exuding an otherworldly glow. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving. From the intricate patterns adorning the genie's flowing robes to the ornate carvings on the sepulchre walls, each element transports us deeper into this enchanting tale. One can almost feel the hushed silence and sense of anticipation that fills the air. This particular illustration accompanies "The Story of Noureddin Ali and His Son" a mesmerizing narrative within "The Arabian Nights Entertainments". It captures that pivotal moment when fate intervenes and sets off a chain of events that will forever alter our protagonist's destiny. McCormick's work is just one among several hundred illustrations featured in George Newnes' edition of these timeless tales. Together with W. H. Robinson, Helen Stratton, A. L Davis, and A. E Norbury, he brings these fantastical stories to life through their artistry. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded once again why "The Arabian Nights" continues to captivate readers across generations – its ability to transport us into worlds filled
