Description
A collection of around thirty popular colour prints depicting places of pilgrimage, holy sites and religious figures from the Muslim faith. Approximately 50 x 38 cm per sheet. Signs of handling and small tears. Provenance: Guy Yves Jacquet Collection (1931–1991) Note: This exhibition is based on a collection of images acquired at markets in Morocco and Kashmir, illustrating the imagination and collective memory of Muslim society. The images presented in the forthcoming lots were a real passion for Guy Jacquet, who made them a central part of his collection. Indeed, these images illustrated a cultural code, a set of symbols recognisable to members of the same community. The subject matter is traditional, featuring holy sites and places of pilgrimage, accompanied by a juxtaposition of images reminiscent of a comic strip, and is intended to be accessible to the public.
