A Thousand and One Recaps

Reading and recapping 'The Arabian Nights'

Tag: Bulaq

Sunday Images: Sara Piper

A few weeks ago, I used an image by artist Sarah Piper to illustrate my recap about Delilah the Wily.

The scene with Delilah is actually one of a series of Arabian Nights prints created by Sarah, collected on a dedicated blog.

What I like about the series is how they are reminiscent of the images that accompanied one of the very first editions of The Arabian Nights published in Arabic, the ‘Bulaq’ text.
