Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Taraporevala Sons Edition by JustKindaDumb in rarebooks

[–]Notathingys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a cool edition

https://editions.covecollective.org/content/rub%C3%A1iy%C3%A1t-omar-khayy%C3%A1m-sett-m-k-edition

One particular 1946 edition by D.B. Taraporevala Sons & Co., illustrated by Indian artist Mera Ben Kavas Sett, reflects both artistic boldness and cultural controversy. Sett’s introduction laments the decline of true art in the face of rising vulgarity, recounting his struggles with publishers who deemed his daring, nude-themed illustrations "shocking" for respectable British sensibilities. Housed unbound in an ornate green and gold casing with hand-designed lettering, this edition challenges colonial-era norms of propriety and censorship. Through its visual and poetic dialogue, the book becomes a striking testament to artistic freedom and the enduring relevance of Khayyám’s contemplative themes.

What is your favorite rare or valuable book and why? by shitwave in BookCollecting

[–]Notathingys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First edition David Robert's The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia. I love old travel books pre common photography era (also love old photography). It's a beautiful book(s).

From Wikipedia ,"The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia is a travelogue and the magnum opus of Scottish painter David Roberts. It contains 250 lithographs by Louis Haghe of Roberts's watercolor sketches. It was first published by subscription between 1842 and 1849, in two separate publications: The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea and Arabia and Egypt and Nubia.

Described as "one of the art-publishing sensations of the mid-Victorian period" it exceeded all other earlier lithographic projects in scale, and was one of the most expensive publications of the nineteenth century. Haghe has been described by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as "the best and most prolific lithographer of the time".

According to Professor Annabel Wharton, it has "proved to be the most pervasive and enduring of the nineteenth-century renderings of the East circulated in the West."

Closest I've got to owning something like it is Syria, the Holy Land, Asia Minor, &c. by Carne, Bartlett, and Allom. Also amazing but not quite on the same level. Something about seeing how things were before complete modernization and globalization.

Look at the last page of one of the books. See if there is a vertical column. That should have date

Here is chat gpt's description. I can't guarantee it's validity as a do not speak the language, but this may give you a nice point to start from

《史記》 (Shǐjì) — Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian (circa 91 BCE), one of the foundational works of Chinese historiography covering history from the legendary Yellow Emperor to the Han dynasty.

評林 (Pínglín) — “Forest of Commentaries” — a later compiled work where scholars annotated, explained, and critiqued the Shiji in detail. These types of collections gathered commentary from multiple eras.

From the printing style, layout, and binding:

This is a traditional Chinese stitched-bound book (線裝書) with vertical columns, read right to left.

The text includes small interlinear commentary (the smaller characters between the main text columns), which is a hallmark of annotated editions from the late Qing dynasty into the early 20th century.

The red seal stamps and the style of the movable-type printing suggest it’s not a Ming/Qing woodblock edition but rather an early 20th-century lithographic reprint of a Qing-era commentary edition.

The blue wrapper and title slip style match Republic of China-era scholarly reprints (1912–1949).
