It was this phase of his career especially as an illustrator of children's books which gives this collection special relevance for Special Collections & University Archives at the University of Oregon Libraries.

His illustrations include those for the Rubaiyat and the Sonnets from the Portuguese The Song Celestial The Adventures of Odysseus Gulliver's Travels and many others both classic and original.<br/><br/>"Working tirelessly right up until the end Willy Pogány died in 1955" University of Oregon Guide to the Willy A.

ORIGINAL PEN-AND-INK PORTRAIT OF THE MAD HATTER From the 1929 Alice's Adventures In Wonderland Illustrated By Willy Pogany
New York 1929. Willy Pogány Hungarian/American 1882-1955. ORIGINAL PEN-AND-INK PORTRAIT OF THE MAD HATTER From his illustrated 1929 Alice's Adventures In Wonderland published by E. P. Dutton. This marvelous drawing is that illustrating "Who Stole the Tarts" from Chapter 11 page 172 wherein The Queen of Hearts is accusing the Mad Hatter of the crime. Pogany's version has the Mad Hatter trembling with fear as he clutches his tea cup and toast. The image is 4.75" x 3.5" situated in one corner of a large sheet of 11" by 14" heavy art paper. Pogány has initialed the drawing at the lower right. His lightly penciled outline and notations can also be seen. The detail of the drawing which is sharply inked and in Very Good condition indeed is spectacular in comparison to the actual printed illustration see our photo of the actual size of the book image to compare. We originally saw this illustration in The Book Sail's 16th Anniversary Catalogue way back in 1984. It's our pleasure to finally be able to both handle it and find it a good home. Signed. Unbound.

Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
Philadelphia: David McKay Co. 1942. A Finely Bound Rubaiyat<br/>Illustrated by Willy Pogany<br/><br/>POGANY Willy illustrator. Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám in English Verse by Edward Fitzgerald. Illustrations by Willy Pogany. Philadelphia: David McKay Co. 1942. <br/><br/>Small folio 9 7/8 x 7 1/16 inches; 250 x 180 mm. vii 1-101 1 printers mark pp. Sixteen full-page and four smaller black & white drawings all with decorative borders.<br/><br/>Bound ca 1942 by Maurin stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in. Full orange-brown morocco covers ruled in gilt with a central 'arabesque' design surrounded by four richly gilt decorated corner pieces. Spine with four raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt gilt-ruled board edges elaborate gilt turn-ins marbled end-papers top edge gilt.<br/>Very slight crack but perfectly sound at top of front joint otherwise near fine.<br/><br/>First published in 1859 Edward FitzGerald's version of Omar Khayyam's quatrains was widely read only after it was taken up by the Pre-Raphaelites in 1861. The height of the poem's popularity corresponded with the heyday of the illustrated book and such well-known illustrators as Willy Pogany Edmund Dulac René Bull and Frank Brangwyn received commissions to illustrate the poem. The drive to illustrate the Rubáiyat was given extra impetus first by the development from the 1860s onwards of wood-engraved colour illustrations and later around the end of the century by the coming of color halftone printing. The lushly exotic and sentimental colored illustrations enabled by Victorian print technology matched the melancholy hedonism of FitzGerald's version of the Rubaiyat. Apart from the vast number of illustrated Rubáiyats the proliferation of Omar Khayyam clubs was another manifestation of the cult. Their meetings furnished excuses for rumbustious drinking and the composition of appalling doggerel. The membership of London's Omar Khayyam Club included an impressive number of convivial bookmen including Andrew Lang Arthur Pinero Arthur Conan Doyle and Edmund Gosse. Justin McCarthy the politician and prolific hack novelist presided. The literary dinners and the pastiches of Khayyam's quatrains tended to stress the heedless bibulousness of the original work. But there is another aspect to the appeal of Khayyam to the Victorian and Edwardian reading public. The first version of the Rubáiyat had been published in 1859 the same year that Darwin's Origin of the Species had appeared. A few years later Matthew Arnold would publish "Dover Beach" in which the melancholy long retreat of the "Sea of Faith" left humanity on a "darkling plain". Already in 1850 in "In Memoriam" Tennyson had raised questions about Christian doctrine and the immortality of the soul only to dismiss them with suspicious glibness. The doubts and fears of the twelfth-century Persian philosopher were shared by many of his English and American readers. In the Rubáiyat as the day wears on its mostly agnostic protagonist becomes increasingly preoccupied by thoughts of mortality and judgment in a possible afterlife and this too perfectly matched the Victorian preoccupation with death. Deathbed scenes were a popular staple of fiction and the cowled figure stalked through quite a few novels. Philadelphia: David McKay Co., 1942 unknown books

A Dramatic Poem by Richard Wagner Freely Translated in Poetic Narrative Form by T.W. Rolleston. Presented by Willy Pogany. London: G.G.

Sixteen mounted color plates including frontispiece many full page two-tone illustrations each page beautifully decorated. <br/><br/>Full vellum pictorially stamped in gilt. Top edge gilt others untrimmed. A fine copy with only a bit of light staining to spine. Housed in a blue cloth slipcase.<br/><br/>William Andrew "Willy" Pogany born Vilmos Andreas Pogány August 1882 - 30 July 1955 was a prolific Hungarian illustrator of children's and other books. Pogany's best known works consist of illustrations of classic myths and legends done in the Art Nouveau style. He also worked as an art director on several Hollywood films including Fashions of 1934 and Dames.<br/><br/>The publication of Pogány's Tannhauser was the first act in his trilogy of masterworks focused on Wagner's Germanic tales and one of the quintet that is considered his finest work. Pogány clearly approached the commission to improve and extend techniques that he had developed through his preceding work particularly The Rubáiyat of Omar Khayyám and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Along with Tannhäuser Parsifal and Lohengrin these five books immortalized his career as an llustrator. That commitment to ongoing innovation resulted in an incredible suite of illustrations including color lithographs monotone and marginal illustrations and the delightful tipped-in color plates produced in four-color process included in Tannhauser. Themes of medieval chivalry erotic love and moral tests are illustrated in a lavish fashion by Pogány with an outstanding use of iconography form and colour. London: G.G. Harrap & Co., 1911 unknown books
