Olga Dugina’s white background illustrations for One Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights, a collection of folktales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. 

Sultan Shahryar has become jealous as he suspects his wife is being unfaithful to him. Through his chief minister, he collects one maiden in the land to be his wife for one night and then have her slaughtered the next morning. The atrocities continue until the chief minister’s eldest daughter Scheherezade is finally chosen. She and her sister enter the palace. The next morning, her sister asks Scheherezade to tell her a story. “Very well,” she says, and she begins.
