silk boards, clamshell box. FitzGerald, Vincent (illustrator). 18 cm by 24 cm. silk boards, clamshell box. (28) pages. One of 50 numbered copies signed by the author and artist. Dedicated to Mohammad Ali on the colophon. Interpreted by Zahra Partovi, whom also provided the calligraphy. Printed by Allethaire Press & Wild Carrot Letterpress. Composed by The Shagbark Press. Etchings by Annette Senneby. With a line-shaped etching extending over 28 pages. Printed on Velin Rives Johannot. The young Iranian artist Zahra Partovi bound the book in silk with decorated paste-paper endpapers and pastedowns, as well as translated the sentences of the Persian poet Rumi (1207-1273) into modern Persian and called this text. She also did the English translation. The etching by Annette Senneby (born 1951, Swedish sculptor) and M'Lis Bartlett of The Printmaking Workshop runs like a "gray thread" through the entire book. The book is housed in a custom clamshell box crafted by David Bourbeau of the Thistle Bindery with steel plates from Hector Perez embedded in the covers. A pristine copy.

New York; Vincent FitzGerald & Co., 1989. 17x24 cm. (32) pp. + 2 blank leaves on maroon luxury paper. Bound in black silk by Zahra Partovi, and housed in a black silk clamshell box (David Bourbeau, Thistle Bindery) with steel plates inserted on the boards. Both the book and the box are shaped as trapezoids. Very fine. The text was printed by Allethaire Press and the Wild Carrot Letterpress, and the etchings by Marjorie Van Dyke and M'Lis Bartlett at The Printmaking Workshop on Rives Johannot and Dieu Donné paper. The etchings are printed as a continuous line throughout the book. The text, Rumi's parable on the Chinese painters versus the Greek painters, comes from the Mathnawi, translated and calligraphed by Partovi. No. 3 of 50 copies printed, signed by both the artist and translator on the colophon. From the library of Anders Tornberg Gallery in Lund, Sweden.
