The illustrator: Gilbert James (1865-1941) - One of the early illustrators of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. His work can be found in numerous editions and reprints of The Rubáiyat, and a number of his illustrations have been issued as post cards as well. Although this indicates that his work was rather popular in his days, very little is known about the artist himself...
