This is an illustration for the first chapter in my novella Sinbad and the Lost Continent, a tale of high adventure inspired by the Arabian Nights. The older man on our left is the famous Sinbad of the Seven Voyages, who now lives in prosperity as a consequence of his adventures and has just narrated them over a week to a poor young porter named Sinbad ibn Hassan (or Sinbad the Landsman), who is the guy standing on our right. The latter wants to go on an epic voyage of his own, and so the older Sinbad offers him an investment in gold dinars which the younger Sinbad uses on a journey to the lost continent of Lemuria deep in the equatorial Indian Ocean. It is this younger, lesser-known Sinbad who is the hero of my novella.
