A carefully coloured and gilded quatrain from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Fitzgerald (1809-1883). With a fine floral border, the artist has produced this illustration in the style of an illuminated manuscript. The quatrain reads 'Alas, that spring should vanish with the rose! That youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close! The nightingale that in the branches sang, Ah, whence and whither flown again, who knows!' Unsigned. On wove.
Condition
There is foxing in most areas, and mount burn to the edges, as shown.
