Catalogue Note
Reproduced as one of twenty colour plates within the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Hodder and Stoughton, 1909). The illustration accompanies the sixtieth quatrian:
And lately, by the Tavern Door agape,
Came shining through the Dusk an Angel Shape
Bearing a Vessel on his Shoulder; and
He bid me taste of it; and 'twas - the Grape!
The illustration is dated 1909 and reveals that Dulac's original colouring of the Angel Shape's robes was changed for publication.
