Overview
Edward FitzGerald's Rub iy t of Omar Khayy m is arguably the most published book of poetry ever written. It is also one of the most illustrated. This intensely illustrated book focuses on the era from 1914-1929 that followed the Golden Age of Rub iy t Art, 1884-1913. It reveals the work of 16 illustrators who produced two or more pictures to illustrate the poems and 9 other artists who embellished the poetry with page decorations, title page adornments and unique frontispiece images. In these pages, the identity of a previously anonymous artist is revealed. New decorators are discovered. Tables and graphic timelines put all the work into perspective as multiple images-many published here for the first time in 90-100 years-reveal the often-unparalleled talent of artists who took their pens, inks and paints to the task of illustrating FitzGerald's Rub iy t.
