187757710THREE RARE EARLY WILDE POEMS <br />8vo. 4 collective volume title page & half-title 2 corrigenda ii 344 plus bound in at the beginning of each of the 12 issues 2 leaves with the original issue title page and its list of contributors contemporary half brown morocco brown cloth on sides very neatly rebacked with the original spine relaid very good. <br />Signed on front free end paper "T. W. Rolleston" and with quite a number of manuscript corrections throughout. <br />This magazine was first issued three issues per year as wrappered magazines. At the completion of the volume 12 issues the remaining stock was issued as a bound volumes in cloth with a general title page. However in the publisher's cloth issue the title pages and contributors lists for the individual issues were discarded as the pagination is continuous without them. Here these have most unusually been retained.<br />This volume contains in the Trinity and Michaelmas 1876 and Hilary 1877 some of the very earliest of Oscar Wilde's published work. These are Mason <i>Wilde Bibliography</i> 72 73 and 74. These all predate Wilde's first separately published book <i>Ravenna</i> of 1878 and all three were later included in Wilde's <i>Poems</i> of 1881 or 1908. <br />W. H. Rolleston was among the other contributors as was Oscar's brother William. It appears that Rolleston had these issues bound himself and so the preliminary title and list of contributor leaves for the individual issues were retained. William McGee hardcover

1938148844Culver City CA: RKO Radio Pictures 1938. Vintage double weight photograph of Katharine Hepburn Howard Hawks and a resting Cary Grant on the set of the 1938 film. <br/><br/>One of the foundational entries in the canon of American screwball comedies. Based on the short story by Hagar Wilde which originally appeared in Collier's Weekly magazine on April 10 1937.<br/><br/>Zoologist David Huxley Grant develops a wary interest in the niece of dowager Mrs. Carelton Random Hepburn which as in all great screwball comedies is not finalized as a romance until about the last ten seconds of the film. But what makes this film singular is that the story is built around the maintenance aspects of raising a pet leopard creating a rapid-fire blur of events and dialogue that doesn't let up for the entire 102-minute running time. The film bombed upon release causing RKO to drop both of the stars but today ranks as one of the best films made by either. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. <br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request.<br/><br/>National Film Registry. Byrge & Miller The Screwball Comedy Films: A History and Filmography 1934-1942.

1891145251891. London: James R. Osgood McIlvaine & Co. 1891. Original yellow-green cloth decorated in gilt.<br/><br/> First Edition of this group of four essays on literature art society and criticism -- which consisted of 900 copies plus 600 printed for America with the Dodd Mead imprint. Published just a week after Wilde's only novel THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY INTENTIONS precedes all of his famous plays which came out during the span 1893-1899. In the opening essay Wilde laments the "decay of Lying as an art a science and a social pleasure." He takes to task modern literary realists like Henry James and Émile Zola for their "monstrous worship of facts" and stifling of the imagination. What makes art wonderful he says is that it is "absolutely indifferent to fact." The next essay "Pen Pencil and Poison" is a fascinating literary appreciation of the life of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright a talented painter art critic antiquarian friend of Charles Lamb and — murderer. The heart of the collection is the long two-part essay titled "The Critic as Artist." In one memorable passage after another Wilde goes to great lengths to show that the critic is every bit as much an artist as the artist himself in some cases more so. A good critic is like a virtuoso interpreter. Finally in "The Truth of Masks" Wilde returns to the theme of art as artifice and creative deception. This essay focuses on the use of masks disguises and costume in Shakespeare Goodreads. Charles Ricketts created the Fin-de-Siècle binding design and lettering -- in the same year that he also designed for the same publisher the binding of TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES. This is a near-fine copy -- there is faint mottled fading that always seems to afflict this book's cloth but there is little wear other than minor rubbing at the extremities small partly-erased signature on the endpaper. INTENTIONS has become a difficult title to acquire in better condition. Mason 341. unknown books
1904140581London: Privately Printed 1904. First separate edition of Wilde's classic collection of of mystery tales; a pirated edition produced by Leonard Smithers. Octavo bound in three quarter morocco over marbled boards with gilt titles to the spine original wrappers bound in. One of 300 numbered copies this is number 125. In fine condition. A very rare Wilde title. 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. Privately Printed hardcover
