The tale "Julnar of the Sea" tells of a Persian king who falls in love with new concubine, who's described as having long black tresses and a face as beautiful as the moon. The concubine, Julnar, reveals she's a mermaid princess from an underwater kingdom. #FairyTaleTuesday

In Captain Upton’s House (1927), Hopper aligns rooflines and sky in carefully measured intervals. The composition gives the coastal house a clear, almost musical rhythm that echoes the spare structure and order of New England’s maritime working landscapes.
