1941 RUBAIYAT
This is an advisory post, I have been fortunate in that I have been given a 1941 W & T ROK book to examine. It was found by a personal friend and I have undertaken to take a close look and then scan the entire book. It has the name 'Williamson' handwritten on a flyleaf of the book.

Hello Ali,
ReplyDeleteI would love a scanned copy of your version of the Whitcombe and Tombs Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam!

I will organise a link in a comment here, maybe at the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Gordon,
ReplyDeleteI've had no luck trying to get a copy myself, are you still planning to upload this at some point? If so, it'd be very much appreciated.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Thommo, No probs, there are a couple of copies, one is believed to be the same as the SM book and the other is a higher priced hard back copy. I'll get them on line in the morning my time.
ReplyDeleteThommo and all interested, links for two different copies of the Rubaiyat here:
ReplyDelete1. Whitcomb & Tombs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4FgVwct8qNUQjlpaTNfVjVMeU0/view?usp=sharing (1941) Most like the SM version
2. Hard back copy: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LoQFK9agIsi9tIFFRlh33HsNmGWFE97/view?usp=sharing (1942) contains the name Henderson in first pages, well known theatrical family and organisers of tours such as Ballet Russe
Thanks for uploading the original Whitcomb version! It seems identical as the SM had.
ReplyDeleteThe 1941 paperback believed to match the SM version has a different cover than the SM version. Although the original SM version was discarded, a photo of the cover still exists.
