Description: Vintage decorative poetry book The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam with Art Nouveau illustrations by Edmund Dulac. A highly decorative floral embossed edition of the 11th-century mystical Persian poetry classic, this 1952 book is in excellent condition. Dust jacket is present and in good condition, but the book itself without the dust jacket is so gorgeous you will want to show it off all on its own on your bookshelf or coffee table. The cover features an intricate floral pattern in ruby and emerald hues, with extensive bright gilt embossing. Front cover and spine are in near-perfect condition, back cover has a little fading. The paisley patterned flyleaves have a tiny amount of spotting, otherwise the interior is as bright and crisp as new - absolutely no marks, writing, creasing, or wear. The lovely color paintings by famed Art Nouveau illustrator Edmund Dulac are likewise clear and clean. This copy of the mystical poetry book The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam makes a great gift for a poetry-loving friend, or a stunning addition to your bookshelf or any bohemian, romantic, floral, cottage, or MCM decor. Shipped quickly and securely. Questions and offers are welcome. Thanks, Book Lovers!
