Description
Set of 2 colour prints of popular imagery, mounted under Plexiglas, depicting: The prisoners of the Battle of Karbala, represented by roses on which their names are inscribed; the Prophet Solomon and his army, receiving a letter from the Queen of Sheba brought by a bird. Approx. 34 x 52 cm (viewable area). Signs of wear. 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, which found its place within 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.
