EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Illustration for Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" takes us on a visual journey through the enchanting world of Edward Fitzgerald's renowned poem. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Persian astronomer-poet Omar Khayyam's timeless verses. The illustration transports us to a dreamlike landscape where mystical elements intertwine with poetic symbolism. The delicate brushstrokes and intricate details bring to life the vivid imagery described in Fitzgerald's translation of Khayyam's Rubaiyat. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are immersed in a realm where celestial bodies dance above lush gardens and ancient architecture. Originally published as part of Gay and Hancock's edition in 1917, this lithographic reprint pays homage to the first edition released back in 1859. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity and universal appeal of both Fitzgerald's interpretation and Khayyam’s original work. Through this illustration, we are reminded of the profound connection between literature and art; how words can inspire images that stir our imagination and emotions. This print is not only a tribute to one poet but also celebrates the power of poetry itself as it transcends time, language, and cultural boundaries. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this mesmerizing artwork continues to captivate viewers with its ethereal beauty while honoring two literary giants – Omar Khayyam and Edward Fitzgerald – who have left
