Not signed, but probably one of 700 copies printed thus. An unusual item indeed, with 39 numbered plates housed in a folding, envelope-like portfolio with embossed title. An additional 19 black-ink drawings by the illustrator, quite evocative, that augment the printed quatrains. An unusually clean assemblage (though the portfolio is a big soiled and grubby).

The artist, Bert Dodson (born, 1938), illustrated several score children's books, too--at least 80 to 2019; 5) DULAC, EDMUND, Illustrator. RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM.
