The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:
1938 Illustrated Editions Company Hamzeh Abd-ullah Kar Edition
This particular copy by the Illustrated Editions Company is pretty worn out. The cover title is hardly readable. The pages have yellowed over-time. The illustrations, however, have remained bold and undamaged.
Hamzeh Abd-Ullah Kar’s work is truly striking. The color choices and lack of ‘flourish’ make it standout. The simplicity of the work makes it distinct rather than mundane.
