Edward FitzGerald's Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám 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 Rubáiyát 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 Rubáiyát.
