Label TextAmong the best-known tales from A Thousand and One Nights, the seven voyages of Sindbad were adventure stories. In 1932, Gordon created an exceptional set of illustrations for a planned book of The Travels of Sindbad. However, with the coming of the Great Depression, the book was never published.
