Imperial 8vo 11" x 7½"  [27.9cm x 19cm] approx. 132 pp. Black cloth boards with gilt decoration to the upper board. Dark pink spine panel containing gilt titles and decorative tooling at either side. Gift inscription to the ffep. Full page colour frontispiece and 6 other full page gorgeous colour plates. Line drawings in black and white to every page of text. Very minor rubbing at the spine ends; the corners are sharp. The book is near fine. Dust jacket is present but is fragile and has sustained some tearing along the edges. The spine panel is just holding at the top; there is a small amount of loss about halfway down. The flaps are in near fine condition. The damage to the jacket does not detract from the attractiveness of its illustration to both wraps. Its intrinsic state has been protected in Brodart so that it can be handled without further damage. Katchadourian was an Armenian artist who died in Paris the year after this book was published. FitzGerald's lyrical meditation on 'human death and fate'. Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is the title that Edward FitzGerald gave to his 1859 translation from Persian to English of a selection of quatrains attributed to Omar Khayyam, dubbed "the Astronomer-Poet of Persia". The dust jacket will be protected with a new inert archival Brodart sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images.
