192227887Leipzig: Hesse & Becker 1922. First edition of this selection. Portrait frontispiece. 176 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Mustard cloth stamped in brown. Bookplate of Francis Kettaneh. Minor toning of textblock. Fine in glassine dust wrapper. First edition of this selection. Portrait frontispiece. 176 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Poems by the prolific German-born author George Sylvester Viereck 1884-1962 who first gained renown for The House of the Vampire and Nineveh and other Poems both 1907 which showed the strong influence of Oscar Wilde. Viereck became notorious for his pro-German propaganda during the first world war and later for his pro-Nazi propaganda before and during the second world war for which he was imprisoned. <br /> This is a German-language selection of his early verse including Nineveh 1907 with some pieces translated by other hands. Viereck's free German translation "frei verdeutscht" of The Ballad of Reading Gaol appears here at pages 151-175; his English translation of the Deutschlandslied "Deutschland Deutschland Land of All Lands" which appears here on p. 176 remained standard for many years.<br /> <br /> Signed by the author on the front flyleaf.

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 Wilde–related ephemera issued during the height of the writer’s American lecture tour of 1882. Though lacking a printed date the title strongly suggests publication in connection with Wilde’s appearance at the Boston Music Hall on January 31 1882 where he delivered his lecture “The English Renaissance†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 Wilde’s aesthetic persona.1<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> OCLC 500491189 specifying this edition with the large sunflower illustration locating five copies. <br /> <br /> 1 “Freshmen at Oscar Wilde’s Lecture†The Harvard Crimson February 1 1882.
