Sobre este item
London: George G. Harrap. Good with no dust jacket. [1913]. Leather. 80 unnumbered pages, 16 full colour illustrations tipped in. Octavo. Brown leather with gilt and green ruling and decoration in the "Persian" Art Nouveau style to front cover and spine. Slight bit of wear to the spines, bit of wear to the corners but not much. First blank has gift inscription dated 1927. Interior has some light occasional foxing. One page has a small old red ink mark at the bottom gutter. Each page is decorated in green, with green borders, and fanciful, delicate Art Nouveau penwork with a romantic "Oriental" feeling. The great Khayyam's poem, Fitzgerald's beautiful translation, Pogany's magical and delicate illustrations, in a beautiful Art Nouveau binding, in nice condition. No date, but OCLC 503459389 identifies it as 1913. Printed at the Ballantyne Press by Spottiswoode for Harrap. Pogany was a Hungarian artist who later emigrated to the U. S. His artistic style was heavily fairy-tale orientated and often featured motifs of mythical animals such as nymphs and pixies. He paid great attention to botanical details and used dreamy and warm pastel scenes with watercolors, oil paintings, and especially pen and ink. Hard to find in such nice condition. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 80 pages .
