He Slid down the Wall
All Resolutions
He slid down the wall with his motionless captive.
Description:
A man wearing a burnous-like cloak hangs from a cornice by the tips of his fingers while holding an unconscious woman in his other arm. This illustration is from Le marchand du Caire (The Merchant of Cairo) by Henri Martin.
The caption reads in the original French: Il glissa le long de la muraille avec sa captive sans mouvement.
