Thousand Nights and a Night

 

Illustrated by Kay Nielsen

 

 

Nielsen prepared these illustrations between 1918 and 1922 for a translation undertaken

by the Arabic scholar, Professor Arthur Christensen.

 

According to Nielsen's own published comments, these illustrations were to be the basis

of his return to book illustrations following a hiatus during World War I and the intention

had been to publish the Danish version in parallel with versions for the English-speaking

world (to be published in Great Britain and the United States) and the French market

(to be published in Paris).

 

These came to be known to the world after Hildegarde Flanner - a family friend of Nielsen and his wife, Ulla, following

their emigration to the United States of America - took possession of the original gouaches following the death of Ulla

(Nielsen's widow).

 

According to Flanner, she was first shown the illustrations in the late 1940s. She recalls her first exposure to the paintings

thus:

  

But there existed something in their house that we had never yet seen. As they, or

rather Ulla, pulled a heavy wooden box out of a closet we had no idea what it

contained. They opened the box, lifting three metal hasps, and with a stir of tissue

paper and other wrappings, revealed its contents. There were nineteen remarkable

gauche illustrations of ample miniature size, thirteen inches square including borders,

for "Thousand Nights and One Night" on which Kay had worked from 1918 to 1922.

His designs were made to accompany a translation from the original Arabic by

Professor Arthur Christensen. Intended for Danish publication the printing of the

work in Denmark had been given up because of high costs after the war, and

although simultaneous publications had been arranged for Paris, London and

New York all plans eventually fell through because of difficulties over the

translations.

 

Flanner notes that, at one point, Life was offered the opportunity to the purchase the paintings - an offer that was rejected.

 

The suite of illustrations saved by Flanner following Ulla's death contained 20 of the original 21 images - one painting having

been purchased by the Art Institute of Chicago as a prize at the Institute's International Watercolor Exhibition in 1925.

 

Nielsen's work on this collection of images is outstanding - you will enjoy the opportunity to consider his genius as it

interpreted the fantastic stories handed down to the Ages by the Persian heroine, Scheherazade.

Prologue

The Sultan of all India and China returns

from hunting early and discovers his wife

with a black slave. In a rage he has his

wife, the slave and all his harem executed.

He then goes off to roam the world.

Prologue

On his travels the Sultan meets a beautiful

girl who is the captive of a Genie. The Genie

keeps her locked in a box, but around her

neck is a little purse of rings she has been

given by other men despite the Genie's

 precautions.

Prologue

The Sultan returns to his kingdom completely

disillusioned. Having sworn never to trust

another woman, each night he takes a new

bride and each dawn he has her killed.

 

Scheherazade, the daughter of the Vizier,

volunteers to become the next bride. She

has a plan to stop this terrible destruction.

At bedtime she starts to tell a tale cleverly

weaving the beginning of a second into

the end so that she must continue the next

evening. In this way she is reprieved for a

thousand and one nights and wins the

Sultan's heart.

 

 

The Tale of the little Hunchback

The Tailor, the Physician, the Steward and

the Merchant each think they are responsible

for the death of the little Hunchback, but

each is saved from hanging by the confession

of the next. Just as the Caliph is about to

pass sentence the little Hunchback sits up

very much alive and says, 'I only had a

fishbone stuck in my throat!'.
