[Potter 201][Morris & Levin 92]. From the moment of its publication, Elihu Vedder's Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám achieved unparalleled success. The first edition appeared in Boston on 8 November 1884; six days later, it was sold out. Critics rushed to acclaim it as a masterwork of American art, and Vedder (1836 - 1923) as the master American artist. [Smithsonian Museum of American Art]. Boards and spine are fine. Moderate foxing on page borders and some minor stains, generally not affecting plates or text. A very handsome volume, scarce in this condition because, due to its size (Folio 16 x 13") and weight, the hinges are usually split. VERY GOOD/NONE (as issued).. Photo-lithographed Plates. Folio - 13" x 16". 127 pp. Very Good with No dust jacket as issued .
