6x9 edition. All 114 quatrains are presented via a merge of the first four editions of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, translated by Edward FitzGerald, and illustrated and arranged by Austin P. Torney. This 'book size' edition adds sections on the transmogrification, on the Titanic's 'Great Omar', colorizations of Edmund Sullivan's b/w illustrations, a new calendar, a poetic tribute to Omar, and more. The 80+ illustrations, all in color, are a mixture of ancient and modern styles, ranging from Austin's own nature compositions to his enhancement of engravings and drawings obtained from very old books. Austin has also written and published his own invention of about 650 quatrains in 'Austin's Rubaiyat'. This publication celebrates the nearly two hundred years since Edward FitzGerald was born.
