He was acquainted with Alfred Douglas and Robert Ross who allowed him to copy Wilde's '<em>Florentine Tragedy</em>' a fragment of a never-completed play. Likiardopulo was reputedly a spy for Russia Greece and England. In 1919 he emigrated to Great Britain and his translations ceased to be published in Russia.<br />The illustrations and cover design were crafted by Armenian painter and art critic <strong>Vardges Sureniants</strong> 1860–1921.
