GOLDEN COCKEREL PRESS - JOHN BUCKLAND WRIGHT
Footnotes
This copy has an additional nine engraved plates, all signed by John Buckland Wright, including the loose suite of plates (with slightly more erotic content than those printed in the book) and 4 proof copies (these not called for in the "Specials"). The edition of 300 copies of the Golden Cockerel Omar Khayyam included 30 specials signed by the collaborators on the colophon, with the suite of 5 extra plates and a collotype facsimile of Fitzgerald's Monk-Latin Ms., and bound in cream morocco. Our copy does not have the facsimile sheets and is not signed on the colophon, but has an additional 5 plates bound in (4 signed), and a full vellum binding.
