1903006235Paris London: Leonard Smithers 1903. Wilde's satire of upper-class life premiered in 1893. This particular publication is a rather deceptive edition LIMITED to 250 copies. No publisher is given but per COPAC it is Wilde's friend Leonard Smithers who published many of the "decadent" writers of his day including Captain Sir Richard Burton. The city of publication is named as Paris but even this is in doubt and is most likely London; citing Paris may have allowed a hint of scandal to attach. Tan cloth binding with titling and the date "1903" in gilt on the spine. Clean text;154 pages. Very Good condition with minor rubbing to the margins and some red stains on the rear cover. There is a signature on the limitation page and a different one on the Title Page. The only real defect to be noted is the presence of many more signatures - as if practicing - on the endpapers and half-title page. One would be tempted to call this "juvenalia" but these appear to be adult handwriting. Some of these are pencil and others ink. Limited. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [Leonard Smithers] Hardcover
1906140212Sunderland: Keystone Press 1906. First edition of Wilde's report on his lecture tour throughout America in 1882. Octavo original stiff paper wrappers. One of fifty numbered copies this is number 24. Very good with the majority of the original dust jacket. Wilde’s “theme is not as is often supposed art’s divorce from life but its inescapable arraignment by experience. His creative works almost always end in unmasking. The hand that adjusts the green carnation suddenly shakes an admonitory finger. While the ultimate virtue in Wilde’s essays is in make-believe the denouement of his dramas and narratives is that masks have to go. We must acknowledge what we are. Wilde at least was keen to do so. Though he offered himself as the apostle of pleasure his created world contains much pain†Ellmann xvi. Keystone Press unknown
