RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM, The Astronomer-Poet of Persia.

Publisher's original quarter blue goatskin with gilt titles to the spine, purple textured silk boards. Housed in the original gold card slipcase with colour illustration laid on. Illustrated with 16 full page colour plates and 5 smaller line drawings throughout the text. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the fine, structurally sound slipcase.
