EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The Dervise Plucks the Hairs from the Cat's Tail, 1906 - A Captivating Illustration of Arabian Folklore". This print, created in 1906 by the renowned Dalziel Brothers, depicts a scene from an enchanting Arabian folk story. Titled "The Dervise Plucks the Hairs from the Cat's Tail" this illustration is taken from Arthur Hayden's book "Chats on Old Prints". The artist behind this mesmerizing piece is Arthur Boyd Houghton. Set against a monochrome backdrop, we witness a mysterious dervish delicately plucking hairs from a cat's tail. This fictional character represents an important figure in Islamic literature and Sufi tradition. With intricate details and masterful shading techniques, Houghton brings to life this moment of spiritual significance. Drawing inspiration from Middle Eastern culture and folklore, this artwork transports us to Arabia with its rich symbolism and exotic charm. It evokes images of ancient tales like those found in "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights" also known as "Arabian Nights". Through his skillful brushstrokes, Houghton captures not only the essence of religious devotion but also showcases his deep understanding of feline grace. The juxtaposition between man and animal creates an intriguing narrative that sparks our imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds in preserving cultural heritage while simultaneously transcending time boundaries.
