The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:
1946 Harrap Pogany Edition
This is a 1946 George G. Harrap edition with Willy Pogany edition, printed by Spottiswoode, Ballantyne and Co.. It has a dust jacket and seems to be of the first edition text. It was printed many times, the latest being “1946 in association with B.U.B. Ltd”.
This edition is part of a greater collection from Barbara Campbell that I purchased a portion of.

The Book Itself
The dust jacket is I think supposed to be a pale gray-ish blue, but with age it has become more…greener? The dust jacket front flap shows the color change. The actual book is a sort of dull yellow-ish color.
