"In 1909, a scholarship brought Leon Carre to the Villa Abdelatif in Algiers, where he spent the rest of his life. A talented draughtsman and colourist, Carre sought to convey the emotion of the artist's vision in a blend of detail and soft pastel shades. He did a great deal of work as an illustrator, notably on 'Le Mille et Une Nuits,' a masterpiece inspired by oriental miniatures" (Orientalist p. 36).
