THE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM

Early edition with these illustrations. Original grey cloth with titles and decorations in black to the spine and upper board, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with 16 tipped in colour plates and decorations by Willy Pogany. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, there is a little spotting to the closed text block edge, prelims, and infrequently to the margins, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper which is a little toned to the spine. Not price-clipped (10/6 on the front flap).

A beautiful example of Willy Pogany's work from the 'golden age' of illustration.
