EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The caliph bought the snuff box and dismissed the pedlar, 1928" we are transported to a world of enchanting tales and exotic settings. The image, a colour lithograph by Norman Ault, captures a pivotal moment in an Eastern tale from Wilhelm Hauff's Caravan Tales. Set within the opulent walls of a palace, we witness the interaction between two intriguing characters. The caliph, adorned in richly detailed costumes that reflect his status and power, stands tall as he examines a delicate snuff box presented to him by a pedlar. His expression reveals both curiosity and discernment as he contemplates its worth. Meanwhile, the pedlar awaits with anticipation for the caliph's verdict on his offering. Dressed in more modest attire but still exuding an air of mystery, he carries with him stories untold and treasures yet to be discovered. This scene is not merely about commerce; it encapsulates themes of cultural exchange and human connection across different worlds. It invites us to ponder how encounters like these shape our understanding of others' lives and experiences. Through Ault's skilful use of colour lithography techniques, every detail comes alive - from the intricate patterns adorning their garments to the vibrant hues that illuminate their surroundings. This print serves as both an exquisite work of art and a visual gateway into distant lands filled with wonderment.
