Willy Pogany had previously illustrated the Rubaiyat in 1909 but these later illustrations are quite a different interpretation more westernized and modernized than the earlier ones. "Had Omar Khayyam the old tentmaker visioned the beauty of his verses centuries later in Western dress as embroidered by a Hungarian artist he might have had a new conception of the meaning of immortality. For Pogany the Hungarian had made Omar the Persian live again." Willy Pogany and his Work. eight-page leaflet.

His reputation as a muralist painter and illustrator was well established in Paris London and Munich before arriving in the United States in 1915 at the age of thirty-three. Skilled in an unusually wide range of media he had won gold medals at exhibitions in Budapest Leipzig and at the Panama Pacific International Exhibition. "Among Pogány's many murals are those for the Heckscher Children's Theatre in New York City and the Niagara Falls Power Station. As a painter he did portraits of famous people in all walks of life. An expert on scenery design and lighting effects Pogány also designed sets for ballets and operas including "Le Coq d'Or" and for many films such as Modern Times for Charlie Chaplin as well as animated cartoons based on his children's books. "Among his other artistic endeavors Pogány was an accomplished book illustrator. 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. Pogány designed and illustrated more than 150 books. 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.
