10 full page tipped in colour plates and 19 smaller colour plates tipped onto individual pages after Rene Bull. 4to., 28x22cm. Finely bound by Ivor Robinson in full black goatskin, covers with gold tooled design of a starry sky with an abstract curving rule to lower corner forming the landscape below, all within a gilt ruled border, spine with 5 raised bands, compartments ruled in gilt and with continued gilt star design from cover, one panel lettered with title in gilt, turn-ins ruled in gilt with floral pattern, binders stamp in gilt to rear lower turn-in 'BOUND BY IVOR ROBINSON', marbled endleaves, with the remains of perhaps the original cardboard slipcase. London, Hodder and Stoughton. Near fine, lower corner of upper cover lightly bumped, internally bright and clean.   A restrained and elegant binding by the great master, Ivor Robinson. The binding is likely an example of his early work, featuring an uncommon stamp signature and retaining the rather more classical design which he experimented with before developing his abstract 'taking a line for a walk' style for which he is best known. Nonethless, in the use of blank space and bold gold tooled lines, his binding of the Rubaiyat shows tantalising hints at the future development of his style, and serves as a perfectly judged accompanient to the playfully mystical text. Robinson was one of the most significant British bookbinders of the 20th century. A founding Fellow of the Designer Bookbinders, Robinson served as the organisation's first president from 1968-1973; he was awared an MBE for services to bookbinding in 1992. He was also a keen cyclist, much to the delight of the present cataloger.   .

Barraclough, dated 1920. A gorgeous Edwardian illustrated gift book, this copy requiring some minor sympathetic repairs by a skilled bookbinder, but any faults more than compensated for by Mr. Barraclough's embellishment.
