Voyage of the Bassett /Oldest Professor Collector Book by artist James Christensen
Voyage of the Bassett /Oldest Professor Collector Book and Print set by James Christensen
The 'Basset's' voyage chronicles the journey of one Algernon Aisling, professor of mythology. Professor Aisling, aided by a group of hard-working, serious dwarfs and a few good-hearted but meddlesome gremlins, set sail in the summer of 1832 just a few months after Charles Darwin had set sail on 'H.M.S. Beagle'. The wise, kindly, but rather eccentric Professor Aisling decided that he, too, would go on a voyage. The ship's motto "credendo vides" - by believing, one sees - is both the creed of the voyage and the reason for its success.
Fair winds and serendipity were their guides, and the whole thing turned out to be a lot of fun. Imagine an ogre playing (and cheating at) cards with the minataur. Imagine Medusa being towed in a dingy, and winged frogs frolicking and the Sphinx working out a new riddle.
"Oldest Professor" title of print accompanies collector copy of the book "Voyage of the Bassett"
Talk about tenure! This learned Fellow is educator emeritus at the College of Magical Knowledge. He's so old, in fact, that he may not even know that the owl he pulls behind him is stuffed.
