According to a publishers booklet interviewing Pogany, he notes 'My last Omar pictures? Yes they are quite different from the Omar Khayyam that I did in London years ago. But I think they are just as true to the oriental spirit. I have westernized and modernized Omar more, but perhaps I have interpreted him more nearly to our present day readers.'
