Khayyam, Omar (1048-1131) & Edward Fitzgerald, trans. (1809-1883) Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, illuminated manuscript.
United States, 1911.
Illuminated manuscript, small octavo; 20 Japon paper leaves handwritten and illuminated by Harriet Kaucher; in a black crushed morocco binding, boards inlaid with a circular gilt ornament, gilt-stamped spine, ochre morocco doublures inlaid with black and green leafy motifs, all edges gilt (small scuffs expertly hidden with dye at extremities); 6 x 5 in.
Likely created by the children's book author Harriet Kaucher, this seems to be her only illuminated manuscript, perhaps made for a special occasion.
