About This Item
New York: Brentano's, 1925. Hardcover. Orig. half white cloth and decorated gray boards. Teg. Very good in nicked dust wrapper. 151 pages. 29 x 24 cm. Ten full-color, tipped-in, full-page illustrations mounted on white art paper, framed with tin and wider grey-green lines, covered with tissue guards printed at top with black letterpress. Limited edition, copy 451 of 625. The London Times Literary critic praised this work, "at his best" and "fantastically Persian," but it was not a commercial success. The American edition also received wide acclaim, "he used the conventional Persian style with perspective, rich in decorative forms and jewel-like colours, bringing out the beauty of minute things by the use of colour and graceful line." [see: HUGHEY 54e]. Lovely, bright and fresh copy, front cover board decorated in silver motifs with paper spine label, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, slight crinkle to spine foot, lower front cover corner.
