Description

Louis Rhead (1857-1926) was an English-born American illustrator well-known for his poster illustrations, which often appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Harper's Magazine, St. Nicolas, Century Magazine, Ladies Home Journal and Scribner's Magazine. When the popularity of poster art declined, Rhead turned to book illustration, illustrating such classics as Robin Hood, The Swiss Family Robinson, Robinson Crusoe, The Deerslayer, Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Arabian Nights' Entertainment.

This incredible pen and ink illustration is from The Arabian Nights' Entertainment, published in 1916 by Harper & Brothers, and accompanied "The History of Ali Baba, and of the Forty Robbers Who Were Killed by One Slave". In the book the illustration is captioned, "The Captain of the Robbers Pronounced These Words, "Open Sesame!"

My thanks to my pal Bruce for identifying where the illustration was published.
