The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Hodder & Stoughton, 1918.
Early edition with illustrations by Edmund Dulac. 8vo. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt lettering and decoration to the upper cover and spine. Twelve beautiful tipped in colour plates all protected by captioned tissue guards. A near fine copy, some fading to the upper cover and spine, a crease to the tissue guard on p.111, otherwise very fresh internally.
The Rubáiyát was originally written in Persian by Omar Khayyam, a poet, mathematician and astronomer. This translation by Edward Fitzgerald made the poem popular with an international audience and the drawings by Edmund Dulac are a perfect foil to the text.
