Published by London, (John Childs & Son for) Bernard Quaritch, 1868., 1868
Seller: Antiquariat INLIBRIS Gilhofer Nfg. GmbH, Vienna, A, Austria
First Edition
8vo (206 x 162 mm). XVIII, 30 pp. Original printed paper wrappers. Housed in a full black morocco case with cloth chemise. Second edition of FitzGerald's translation, substantially expanded and revised. Omar Khayyám was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and poet, famous in his own country and time chiefly for his scientific achievements. He is known to English-speaking readers mostly due to FitzGerald's translations, which were quite free and liberal in their paraphrasing and would prove to be the "most popular verse translation into English ever made" (Decker, p. xiv). - Five hundred copies of the second edition were printed, with Quaritch selling each at a price of 1s. 6d.; when a copy re-appeared in their catalogue in 1929, it had already reached a price of £52 10s. (Potter, p. 12). Fitzgerald substantially revised the text of the Rubáiyát four times, with none of these five versions seen as truly definitive. The first edition had 75 quatrains, while the present second edition, which has 110 quatrains, is the longest of the five. - Some light foxing throughout. Some soiling and creasing to wrappers; contemporary ownership inscription, dated 1869, to upper cover. - Potter 129.

Second edition. Second edition. pp. xvii, 30. 1 vols. Square 8vo. 'And Wilderness is Paradise enow': Second Edition, in Wrappers. The best known of FitzGerald's works, his Rubáiyát of Omar Khayaym was almost entirely overlooked at its first appearance. D. G. Rossetti and Swinburne were among the earliest "believers." Borges has written of the "fortuitous conjunction" between the Persian astonomer and the Englishman who produced "a continuous and organic book that would begin with images of morning, the rose, and the nightingale, and end with those of night and the tomb." For this edition, printed in 500 copies, FitzGerald prepared versions of 110 quatrains (the 1859 first edition contained 75; and later editions settled on 101 poems). With long American provenance, Saratoga Springs collector W.L. Rich (1920s); and Little Rock collector Allsopp, who had a presentation copy of the 1859 first edition, sold in his sale in 1946. Handsome copy of this landmark of world literature, in original condition. Potter 129; Prideaux pp. 27-28; Chronological List, (Caxton Club, 1899), p. 13. Provenance: W. L. Rich, Saratoga Springs (bookplate); F. W. Allsopp (his sales at Parke Bernet, 1946-7: 4 Dec. 1946, lot 244, $55) Original printed wrappers. Minor soiling to back wrapper, faintest wear at top of front wrapper (tiny closed tear), internally clean and bright. Bookplate. Near fine copy in morocco backed slipcase and cloth wrapper pp. xvii, 30. 1 vols. Square 8vo.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Special Edition. London: Bernard Quaritch, 1859. Roy. 8vo. Orig. printed limp boards. (2, xiv, 22pp.). Uncut and unopened copy.Rare. NOTE: On the thirty-first day of March, 1909, the hundredth anniversary of his birth, this facsimile of the first edition of Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, limited to fifty signed and numbered copies, upon Imperial Japanese Vellum, was published by the Omar Khayyam Club of America and printed at The University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. This copy is No. 25, fully signed by the President, Treasurer, Secretary and Chairman of the Centenary Committee. Fitzgerald actually funded the cost of the 250 copies of the first edition produced, keeping 40 for himself, and arranging for Quaritch to stock the balance. How many Quaritch actually sold at the published price of a shilling we do not know, but by July 1861 copies were being offered from the penny-box outside Quaritch's old Castle Street premises.

Elaborately bound example of Pogany's finely illustrated Rubaiyat. Octavo, bound in full crushed red morocco by Banytun Riviere with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, quadruple gilt ruling, fleuron cornerpieces, and central gilt arabesque to the front and rear panels, gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, illustrated by Willy Pogany. Translated by Edward Fitzgerald. In very good condition. "The work on which [Fitzgerald's] fame will mainly rest is his marvellous rendering of the Quatrains of Omar Khayyám, the astronomer poet of Persia, which he has made to live in a way that no translation ever lived before. In his hands the Quatrains became a new poem, and their popularity is attested by the four editions which appeared in his lifetime. But when they were first published in 1859 they fell upon an unregarding public, as heedless of their merits as the editor of a magazine in whose hands they had been for two years previously" (DNB).

Edmund Dulac (1882 Ð1953) was a French-born, British naturalized magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer. Born in Toulouse, he moved to London early in the 20th century. In 1905, he received his first commission to illustrate the novels of the Bront Sisters. During World War I, Dulac produced relief books. After the war, the deluxe children's book market shrank and he turned to magazine illustrations in addition to other ventures. He designed banknotes during World War II and postage stamps, most notably those that heralded the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Quartol. Unpaginated. Full color frontispiece and 19 full color plates tipped in. Wood engraved color borders. Publisher's beige cloth stamped in gilt on front cover and spine.
