EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 1919, where we witness the exhilarating experience of riding a camel through an arid desert. The illustration is from Gladys Davidson's book, "Helpers Without Hands" beautifully brought to life with vibrant colours through the lithographic process. In this scene, a nomadic Arab traveller is seen astride a majestic camel, galloping at full speed across the vast expanse of sand. The rider's headdress and flowing keffiyeh add to the sense of adventure and cultural richness depicted in this artwork. As the camel charges forward, a cloud of dust trails behind them, emphasizing their swift movement and creating an atmosphere of excitement. The rider holds onto the reins tightly, showcasing his skillful control over these magnificent creatures that have been essential companions for desert travel throughout history. The tall figure seated on top of the camel exemplifies both strength and grace as they navigate through this challenging terrain effortlessly. It is fascinating to imagine what lies ahead for our brave adventurer as they journey into unknown lands filled with mystery and wonder. This remarkable image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes feelings of wanderlust and curiosity about distant cultures. It serves as a reminder that even without modern technology or vehicles, humans have always found ingenious ways to explore new horizons - relying on loyal animal companions like camels along their extraordinary journeys.
