RUBÁIYÁT OF OMAR KHAYYÁM

First edition with these illustrations, first printing. Publisher's original white cloth, decorated and with titles in gilt to the upper board and spine. Illustrated with a frontispiece and 19 further tipped in colour plates by Edmund Dulac, each with a captioned tissue guard. Decorative borders and title page. A very good copy indeed, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the spine tips, the cloth just a little darkened to the spine. The contents, with a previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown and a little spotting to the prelims and text block edge, are otherwise clean and bright throughout. All plates and tissue guards are present as called for and in fine condition.

An attractive example of this exquisitely illustrated golden age gift book.
