About This Item
No publisher or place of publication noted. Undated but likely 1890 to 1915. Octavo. Unpaginated but sixteen leaves staple bound in tan wraps and cord tied into a limp brown suede cover with gold title and decoration. 89 verses with duotone illustrations by Lloyd Williams throughout. Very good condition with slight rub to bottom corner of front cover.
A one page preface gives a synopsis of the life and work of Omar Khayyam in which the author ends by writing that his own verses are "... at best, pale caricatures which brazenly dare to stand in the shadow of Omar's structure, their only claim for consideration being that they reflect perhaps a somewhat more cheerful and optimistic philosophy and faith." None located in OCLC.
