1899004441London: Leonard Smithers 1899. First published in 1898 anonymously under Wilde's Prisoner identification number this is a copy of the Seventh Printing which was the first to identify him by name. This copy also states "Entered at the Library of Congress Washington U.S.A." indicating an American issue; a bit uncommon thus. Ochre cloth binding with gilt lettering on a linen spine. Clean text; 31 pages. This is a Very Good copy but there are some issues. The corners are bumped; there is a spot on the front cover and a few stains on the rear. Some cracking to the hingesgive it a shaken feel. Also there is a long inscription in Latin also done into English on the FFEP and a signature on the Dedication Page. A decent-enough place-holder but certainly not for the advanced collector. . Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Leonard Smithers Hardcover
