RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM
by Omar Khayyam; Edward Fitzgerald
Illustrated by Edmund Dulac
Published by Hodder & Stoughton. 1st. 1909
Very good condition. The perfect showcase for Dulac's genius in depicting eastern fantasy with 20 magnificent tipped-in colour plates. Cream buckram stamped in rich gilt. Front cover has peacock design above and elephants below a central wreath. Spine has gilt titles and vignette of a flower urn. Peacock feather design on endpapers. Brown decorative border to each page. 11.25 x 8.75". Unpaginated.
Spine and corners slightly bumped. Covers slightly grubby, spine slightly browned. Bookplate(?) to front free-endpaper. All plates present and in fine condition. Small brown spot to lower margins of a couple of pages and a few very small, light fingermarks to page margins. Overall, contents are nice and clean (not forgetting this book is well over 100 years old!).
