Description: Willy Pogány Whosoever embarketh in a vessel upon theRiver Tigris, I will strike off his head 11.7" x 16.5" Poster (Reproduced on Acid-free printing stock with Archive-quality inks) Perfect for many purposes, the image on this Poster is a wonderful illustration by Willy Pogány (1882-1955) - one of the leading artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration). Pogány was a prolific contributor to books for children and adults - providing illustrations depicting fairy tales, myths and legends to over 100 titles. He emigrated from his native Hungary and lived in London for 10 years from 1906 - illustrating a number of books during that time, including Faust (1908) and the most elaborate of his numerous interpretations of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (1909). That 1909 version of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám included calligraphy throughout and profuse sumptuous decoration in addition to the color tipped-in plates. Prior to his emigration to the United States of America in 1914, Pogány also completed what are considered to be his masterpieces, with contributions to Wagner's trilogy of Tannhäuser (1911), Parsifal (1912) and Lohengrin (1913). Fabulous work followed his relocation to the United States of America, including his magnificent monotone work for The Kasidah of Haji Abdu El-Yezdi (1931), The Light of Asia; or, The Great Renunciation (Mahâbhinishkramana) being The Life and Teaching of Gautama (1932); and The Song Celestial (1934).
