A fine fresh copy, highly uncommon in this condition, slight and very small split to the paper at the bottom of the front join of the pastedown to the free-fly. The box with light wear only. VERY HANDSOME ISSUE OF THE POGANY ILLUSTRATED RUBAIYAT. An exquisite volume in a beautiful publisher’s gift binding. Based on Fitzgerald’s translation, Pogany has filled each page with decorative Islamic style borders and decorations, accompanied by 16 full page tipped-in color plates.
