EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an inside cover with a floral design, dating back to 1901. Crafted from luxurious lecant morocco leather by Charles Meunier, this piece is a testament to the exquisite artistry of the early twentieth century. The floral pattern adorning the cover is reminiscent of Middle Eastern influences, featuring delicate flowers in shades of yellow and pink. The stamp-signed authenticity adds a touch of prestige to this rare book binding. Measuring at 25.1x16.5 cm, this close-up photograph allows us to appreciate every detail of Meunier's workmanship. The repetition and full-frame composition emphasize the mesmerizing effect created by the floral design. This inside cover belongs to Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat, a collection collated from Omar Khayyam's original Persian sources. It serves as both an artistic expression and a literary treasure, combining poetry with applied art. The color palette includes soft blues and turquoise hues that complement the warm tones found in the flower motif. This harmonious combination creates an enchanting visual experience for any admirer. Displayed here as part of a private collection, this print captures not only a beautiful object but also preserves history and culture within its frame. It stands as a testament to Meunier's talent and his contribution to early twentieth-century bookbinding craftsmanship.
