1900réf. ST17640-1023New York: Doxey's at the Sign of the Lark 1900. 218 x 160 mm. 8 1/2 x 6 1/2". 120 pp. Brown cloth with gilt titling and frame front cover with a black tree design at center top edge gilt. Illustrated by Florence Lundborg. Printed French fold on coated stock. Potter 240. Corners a bit rubbed the first five French folds opened otherwise a fine copy extremely clean and fresh internally and with few signs of use to the binding. With the text wrapped in Florence Lundborg's romantic flowing illustrations this is a particularly attractive edition of FitzGerald's lush and lilting translation of the celebrated 11th century classic collection of evocative short verses. A work that appealed strongly to Victorian sensibilities the "Rubáiyát" first printed anonymously in 1859 became immensely popular and went through a great many editions. American artist Lundborg 1871-1949 studied under Whistler and Arthur Mathews and was known for her paintings murals and book illustrations. Her borders here which surround the poetry with graceful figures and textured linework are reminiscent of the work of Aubrey Beardsley. Doxey's at the Sign of the Lark unknown books

1896réf. 001150London New York and Bombay: Longmans Green & Co 1896. Hardcover. Good Plus/No Jacket. Oblong 11 By 9 Inches. 63 pp. Full color plate illustrations not quite every other page with text illustrations interspersed in margins of comic verse. One of the best of the politically dubious relics of late nineteenth century children's literature. It is hard to say whether the infectious humor of the illustrations or of the fluent inspired doggerel almost certainly emulated by the likes of Roald Dahl is the bigger draw. Probably the rarest of the highly desirable Golliwogg series this one taking our characters to Paris Japan and Africa. This copy has considerable soilage on the boards which are illustrated paper pasted onto the boards. Shelfwear along edges and corners. Original spine band survives with some wear by tips and rubbing along gutters. Interior tight. Some scattered soilage to pages but text and especially the illustrations remain attractive.
