Informazioni sul libro
The Golden Age of Rubaiyat Art, 1884-1913. Volume III. The Decorators. Edward FitzGerald’s Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is arguably one of the most widely published and illustrated books of poetry of all time. For over 150 years the various versions have been published and new illustrated versions continue to appear to this day. A series of three extensively illustrated books document the original artists who illustrated books published for the public. This volume focusses on the decorators. To date, little attention has been paid to those artists who decorated books for the public who transformed bland collections of text into tomes that often were wondrous to behold. These Rubaiyat artists embellished and decorated the pages of verse, title pages, endpapers and covers. Thirty-six decorators are revealed, many more than had been previously thought, and their contributions are not only summarized in charts and tables but with over 160 pictures. As with the other volumes, most of those pictures have not been seen since their original publication. A previously unknown decorator is revealed along with some new insights into the contribution of various artists in areas not previously known.

Informazioni sull'autore
Danton O'Day
Oakville, Ontario, CANADA
Dan is a retired Biology professor (University of Toronto Mississauga) who has written over 130 research articles and written and edited several books. He is also a songwriter and avid book collector. Over the past three years he has been documenting the early history of art of Edward FitzGerald’s Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam which has culminated in the three volume set, “The Golden Age of Rubáiyát Art, 1884, 1913”. Considered by many to be a jack of all trades (which implies master of none), he simply finds all aspects of life interesting. His major failing in life is golf but his fairly good grasp of Elizabethan English helps his game a bit.
