Happy birthday, Elihu Vedder! The American Symbolist painter was born on February 26, 1836 in New York City. We own The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, the astronomer-poet of Persia, published in 1886 and illustrated by Vedder. He also designed the cover. Ask a librarian to see anything in our special collections.
