Hardcover. Condition: As New. Niroot Puttapipat (illustrator). 1st Edition Limited Edition. KHAYYAM, Omar. The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. Translated by Edward FitzGerald. London: The Folio Society, 2009. Folio. Quarter vellum and Persian blue cloth. Spine lettered in 22-carat gold. Cover illustrated and stamped in three shades of gilt by Niroot Puttapipat. Top edge gilt, others uncut. [viii], 219 pp., with 16 mounted colour plates and original etching by Niroot Puttapipat. Housed in navy-blue buckram solander case. First Folio Society edition. Facsimile of the first edition of FitzGerald's translation, published by Bernard Quaritch, 1859, with some minor emendations. Limited to 1,000 copies, numbered and signed by the artist on the limitation page. The story of Edward FitzGerald's translation of the Rubáiyát is one of the classics of happenstance. Published anonymously by Bernard Quaritch in 1859, initially to almost complete indifference, it was discovered by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in a penny box outside a bookshop and passed among the Pre-Raphaelites. It quickly became one of the most celebrated works of poetry in the English language and has never been out of print. The original Persian quatrains of Omar Khayyám, an eleventh-century mathematician and astronomer from Nishapur, were transformed by FitzGerald into something that is simultaneously a translation, an adaptation, and an original poem: a meditation on pleasure, impermanence, and the indifference of the universe, expressed in some of the most musical verse of the Victorian period. The Folio Society edition of 2009, published to mark the 150th anniversary of FitzGerald's translation, presents the text of the first edition within a production of considerable elegance. The illustrations and cover design by Niroot Puttapipat whose intricate, richly coloured work draws on both Persian miniature tradition and the decorative aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts movement are particularly well suited to a text that has always attracted artists of an ornamental sensibility. The sixteen mounted colour plates, together with a signed original etching, give the volume a visual richness entirely appropriate to its subject. Volume unopened. Mint condition, in original tissue shipping wrappers. Solander case fine. Please note: This item is very large and heavy. Within Australia it may require additional postage costs.

Add to basketRené Bull (illustrator). London: Hodder & Stoughton, [1913]. Large quarto. Full vellum elaborately blocked in gilt and blue to a design by René Bull, with gilt lettering to the spine and upper cover. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Printed by Henry Stone & Son, Banbury. Limited to 250 copies signed and numbered by the artist, this being No. 216. Edward FitzGerald's Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám found one of its most luxurious Edwardian interpretations in this edition illustrated by René Bull. Combining Persian and Byzantine motifs with Art Nouveau design, Bull's imagery brings an opulent theatricality to Khayyám's meditations on fate, love, and mortality. The volume contains ten mounted colour plates within decorative gilt borders, nineteen full-page line drawings, and tissue guards printed with the accompanying quatrains. Bull, trained in Paris and influenced by both Beardsley and Dulac, captures in these pages the final flowering of the Golden Age of British book illustration. His richly detailed compositions unite the mysticism of Persian art with the fin de siècle fascination for the East. The binding remains bright and well preserved, the vellum clean with only light toning and the gilt still radiant. Internally there is scattered spotting to the endpapers and prelims, as is usual for this edition, but the plates are fresh and unfaded. A complete and very good copy of the signed limited issue. An outstanding example of one of the most beautiful illustrated books of the Edwardian era - a union of FitzGerald's timeless verse and René Bull's sumptuous vision.
