Description
1856 Lalla Rookh Thomas Moore ILLUMINATED Romance Poem Mughal Aurangzeb TENNIEL



“Lalla Rookh: An Oriental Romance” is a captivating work by the Irish poet Thomas Moore, centered around a fictional tale of Lalla Rookh, portrayed as the daughter of the 17th-century Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The book intertwines four narrative poems within a prose frame story, all while exploring themes of love, beauty, and exoticism in an Oriental setting.



This edition of Thomas Moores poetic brilliance is complemented by the artistic contributions of the esteemed John Tenniel, who provided 69 illustrations, and T. Sulman Jr., who created 5 Persian-inspired, ornamental leaves. The exceptional engravings by the Brothers Dalziel and H.N. Woods further enhance the aesthetic appeal of this beautifully bound edition, making it a visual and literary feast.
