Over het boek
This book documents the menu artists of the Omar Khayyam Club of London from 1892-1929.
While 26 artists were credited in the two books of the Club, there actually were 28 different menu artists. Of these several were not properly credited for their contributions. For example, one artist was credited for three pictures that belonged to two other artists. Another incorrectly attributed picture was done by an, as yet, unidentified artist. This book details these issues as well as providing many other insights, firsts and interesting facts:
-First complete documentation of the artists of the Omar Khayyam Club of London Menus, 1892-1929
-First time most of the pictures have been seen since their initial publication
-Discovery of numerous incorrect artist credits
-Discovery of an “Unidentified Artist”
-Recognition of artists who were not credited for their contributions
-Corrected lists and timelines of artists and their contributions
-Learn about the artists: a cartoonist, a spy, the man who developed camouflage and more…

Danton O'Day
Oakville, Ontario, CANADA
Dan is a retired Biology professor (University of Toronto Mississauga) who has written over 130 research articles and written and edited several books. He is also a songwriter and avid book collector. Over the past three years he has been documenting the early history of art of Edward FitzGerald’s Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam which has culminated in the three volume set, “The Golden Age of Rubáiyát Art, 1884, 1913”. Considered by many to be a jack of all trades (which implies master of none), he simply finds all aspects of life interesting. His major failing in life is golf but his fairly good grasp of Elizabethan English helps his game a bit.
