This edition was based on Edward Fitzgerald's translation, first published in 1859. The poem presents an interesting challenge to any reader trying to sort through its profound symbolism and not-so-obvious theme, and gained recognition over the course of the nineteenth century as a growing 'cult of the Rubáiyát' found expression in 'the Omar Khayyám Clubs of England and America' (Yohannan, p.202).

Limited edition, number 649 of 750 copies signed by the artist; large 4to (320 x 260 mm); 20 colour plates, each with a titled paper-guard, very mild peripheral spotting to first and last few leaves, thereafter the odd, random spot; publisher's decorative vellum, top edge gilt, others untrimmed, replaced silk ties, slight darkening to spine, very mild dust-soling and slight bowing to boards (as usual), otherwise a very good copy of this beautiful edition.

Provenance

Provenance: Frederick Walter Fell Clark (crested bookplate to upper pastedown).
