Oscar Wilde Galop

1882List3658Boston Massachusetts: W. A. Evans & Bro 1882. Folio illustrated wraps. Pages detached from each other small chip to corner images and music fine remains good to very good and quite attractive. Good to very good. A visually striking example of Oscar Wildeâ€“related ephemera issued during the height of the writerâ€™s American lecture tour of 1882. Though lacking a printed date the title strongly suggests publication in connection with Wildeâ€™s appearance at the Boston Music Hall on January 31 1882 where he delivered his lecture â€œThe English Renaissanceâ€ as part of his widely publicized tour across the United States. Contemporary accounts describe the event as a notable cultural moment including the presence of Harvard students dressed in exaggerated aesthetic costume who occupied the front rows of the hall reflecting both the fascination with and satirical reception of Wildeâ€™s aesthetic persona.1 The lithographic cover prominently depicts a figure carrying an oversized sunflower an image closely associated with Wilde and the broader Aesthetic Movement. Such illustrated sheet music functioned not only as musical publications but also as collectible artifacts capitalizing on the figure of Wilde. Over the course of several months he traveled widely across the United States and Canada delivering lectures on art decoration and cultural taste and quickly became a subject of both admiration and parody in the American press. Although he never returned for a comparable national tour Wilde maintained a lasting connection to American audiences. We know of a variant edition of the Evans imprint with a different illustration as well as a different version published in Boston by Ditson the same year. OCLC 500491189 specifying this edition with the large sunflower illustration locating five copies. 1 â€œFreshmen at Oscar Wildeâ€™s Lectureâ€ The Harvard Crimson February 1 1882. W. A.
