A reviewer in the Bookman considered Constable’s 1920 Art Deco edition of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám to be one of the most beautifully illustrated versions ever published. Balfour's remarkable suite of 38 Art Deco illustrations epitomize the spirit of the ‘Roaring Twenties’. Sadly, Balfour’s illustrations have seldom been seen since! This eBook aims redress that since it contains the full suite of Balfour's illustrations alongside quatrains from FitzGerald’s first translation. Biographical notes concerning Omar Khayyám, FitzGerald and Ronald Balfour are also included as are the texts for all five versions of FitzGerald’s translation.
