She is a young woman in a yellow dress. She has been shot by the police. As a video goes viral; a revolution begins to stir. Ali and Leyla are panicking - they uploaded the footage and now the authorities are after them. Across town; Yasmin is desperate to know if her missing mother is still alive. Halfway around the world; a woman in London wants to help. As a tornado of dissent and violence spreads; everyones life is going to change. A startlingly theatrical look at what happens when it all kicks off; Elinor Cooks Image of an Unknown Young Woman premiered at the Gate Theatre; London; in June 2015.

One of their business strategies is to republish great old books whose copyright protection has expired. They do not have to pay their authors/illustrators and we the reading public get access to some classic books at a reasonable price. Editor Jeff Menges used a variant of this strategy when he assembled "Arabian Nights-Illustrated". But instead of republishing the texts; Menges only selected the images for his compilation.The Golden Age of Illustration is generally considered to have run from the 1880s until the years immediately following the Great War. Gifted illustrators like Edmund Dulac; Maxfield Parrish and N.C. Wyeth prepared sumptous images for childrens books. Using as a resource the many volumes published of "The Arabian Nights"; Menges has assembled beautiful images from the great illustrators of the day. Of special note; during this time period; "Orientalism" was one of the crazes that swept the art world. It is interesting to see how this fad for the "Oriental" was integrated into childrens books.What keeps me from giving this book five stars is the mediocre printing that is typical of Dover Publishing. A revolution in book printing has taken place in the last twenty years. Unfortunately; Dover is still stuck in the technology of the 1980s. The books images have that washed out look that speaks eloquently of low production values. If Dover Publishing is going to produce art books; they should make a better printing effort. If you want to see how vibrant the images look in their original volumes; check out Minh Lais beautiful web site; [...]8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Description should be clearerBy DakotaBoyThe illustrations are indeed beautiful. But I think the product description should be a bit clearer as to what the book actually is. I expected some stories as well that I could read to my granddaughter. I was not expecting a book of illustrations only.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. great artworkBy DanceDivaThe photos in this book are stunning!
