Housed in a custom case and chemise. Wilde's later work based on his two years hard labor at Reading Gaol for "gross indecency."

It is therefore clear that they are not two independent editions but the one-side issue constitutes merely a kind of de-luxe variety while the two-sided is a cheaper popular version of the same edition" Horodisch pages 76-77. This copy comports with the first state with text printed one side only. A printer's binder's issue is extant as at least one leaf is hinged at the top edge. Is it possible that what Horodisch thought a deluxe issue is merely error some of which made it to the wild Issued by Benjamin R.
