1878182528Oxford: Thos. Shrimpton and Son 1878. Wilde debuts First edition of Wilde's first independent publication a poetic evocation of the historic Italian city composed while a student at Oxford and awarded the university's prestigious Newdigate Prize; "its laments for the sufferings of Dante and Byron proclaimed admiration and anticipation" ODNB. The inspiration for the poem came on a "vacation ramble" to Italy in 1877. Wilde recited the poem at the Sheldonian Theatre on 26 June where according to the review published the next day in the Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduate's Journal he was "listened to with rapt attention and frequently applauded" Ellman p. 94. Octavo pp. 16. Original grey-green printed wrappers lettered in black. Housed in custom green cloth box. Wrappers partially detached but holding edges of wrappers lightly toned with small chips internally fresh. A very good copy of a fragile publication. Mason 301.

1878149908Oxford: Thos. Shrimpton and Son 1878. Attractively bound copy of Wilde's first independent publication First edition of Wilde's first independent publication an attractively bound copy preserving the original wrappers and with the bookplate to the front pastedown of the eccentric sportsman and artist William Eden 1849-1915 father of future Prime Minister Anthony Eden and who like Wilde had a dispute with the artist James McNeill Whistler. The inspiration for Wilde's prize-winning poem came on a "vacation ramble" to Italy in 1877 with the precentor and junior dean of Trinity College Dublin William Mahaffy. According to the review published the next day in The Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduate's Journal Wilde's recitation of it at Oxford was "listened to with rapt attention and frequently applauded" Ellman p. 94. Eden excelled at a range of sports from boxing and horse riding to shooting "the epitome of the sporting squire" ODNB a member of several clubs and well known in London society. So too was he a keen amateur artist and aesthete building a fine collection of paintings and was a member of the aristocratic group The Souls. The contrast between the sportsman and the aesthete has been noted: "There was little that was harmonious in his nature and the aesthetic side warred with and exacerbated rather than complemented his athleticism making him a bored sportsman and a militant aesthete. As he grew older the world's failure to correspond to his ideals drove him to furious rages and the debased taste of humanity confirmed his atheism - for how could a God have made such a botch of things" ibid. His dispute with Whistler was occasioned when Eden commissioned a portrait of his wife which Whistler executed but then kept the cheque without handing over the painting leading to a legal case which resulted in Whistler's book The Baronet and the Butterfly 1899. Wilde too had a lengthy rivalry with Whistler out of the courts but with very public sparring. Octavo 16 pp. 176 x 119 mm. Early 20th-century pink straight-grain morocco for Hatchards of Piccadilly spine lettered in gilt pink cloth sides marbled endpapers top edge gilt pink silk page marker; bulked with 20 binder's blanks.

Fine and clean. 9 pp. <br/><br/><em>Offprint issue with author's presentation insciption to front wrapper of Wilde's paper on how to control and render the magneto-electri current which nearly led to the discovery of the principle of self-excitation. This was however achieved by other inventors first notably Charles Wheatstone and the Siemens brothers."In 1856 Wilde established a business in Manchester as an electric-telegraph and lightning-conductor engineer and spent some years on the development of a magneto-electric alphabetic telegraph which was demonstrated at the international exhibition in London in 1862. In December 1863 he patented a twin-armature machine in which a magneto-electric generator provided excitation current for the field winding of another generator. These machines were made in quantity by Wilde & Co. but in use they had the disadvantage of becoming very hot. In 1867 Described in the present paper. he patented an entirely different type of multipolar machine which was used for electro-deposition and arc lighting. Among his other patents was one in 1875 for the making of copper rollers for calico printing.". Oxford DNB. Henry Wilde 1833 - 1919 was a wealthy individual from Manchester England who used his self-made fortune to indulge his interest in electrical engineering. He invented the dynamo-electric machine or self-energising dynamo an invention for which Werner von Siemens is more usually credited and in fact discovered independently. At any rate Wilde was the first to publish his paper was communicated to the Royal Society by Michael Faraday in 1866. The self-energising dynamo replaces the permanent magnets of previous designs with electro-magnets and in so doing achieved an enormous increase in power. The machine was considered remarkable at the time especially since Wilde was fond of spectacular demonstrations such as the ability of his machine to cause iron bars to melt. </em> unknown

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.

1881ST20886London: David Bogue 1881. FIRST EDITION First Issue. 192 x 126 mm. 7 1/2 x 5". ix 1 236 1 pp. <br/> EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE CRIMSON MOROCCO INTRICATELY GILT BY ZAEHNSDORF stamp-signed and dated 1909 on front turn-in covers framed in gilt with delicate pointillé cornerpieces surrounding inlaid green morocco drawer handles and oblique floral tools raised bands spine panels densely gilt in the pointillé style of Bozerian with stems of flowers radiating from pairs of inlaid green drawer handles turn-ins gilt-ruled red silk endleaves top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Original slightly soiled gilt limp vellum binding bound in at rear. Mason 304. A few trivial spots internally but A VERY FINE COPY--the leaves fresh clean and wide-margined and the binding lustrous and virtually unworn.<br/> <br/> This is a finely bound copy of the first edition of Wilde's first book of poetry and his first substantial work of any kind. The collection is made up of 61 poems 31 of which appear here for the first time. Many reflect Wilde's delight in his visit to the art towns of Italy; other poems such as the tender "Resquiescat" written in memory of Wilde's sister Isola who had died at the age of eight show a more personal emotional sentiment. According to Mason "the first printing June 1881 consisted of 750 copies of which only 250 copies were used for the first edition the remaining 500 being equally divided between the second and third editions." Wilde himself oversaw the layout and design of the book choosing the handmade Dutch paper on which it is printed and the design of prunus blossoms on the vellum binding here bound in at the rear. The only published books by Wilde to appear before the present work were his student poem "Ravenna" which was named the "Newdigate Prize Poem" at Oxford for 1878 issued in wrappers and his drama "Vera; or the Nihilists" printed in 1880 of which Mason had knowledge of only two copies. Our attractive binding is a fine example of the work of the Zaehnsdorf firm long a top-ranked English bindery. Born in Pest Hungary Joseph Zaehnsdorf 1816-86 served his apprenticeship in Stuttgart worked at a number of European locations as a journeyman and then settled in London where he was hired first by Westley and then by Mackenzie before opening his own workshop in 1842. His son and namesake took over the business at age 33 when the senior Joseph died and the firm flourished under the son's leadership becoming a leading West End bindery. Over the years Zaehnsdorf employed a considerable number of distinguished binders including the Frenchman Louis Genth who was chief finisher from 1859-84 and trained a number of others including Roger de Coverly and Sarah Prideaux. A family-run business until 1947 the Zaehnsdorf bindery continued to produce consistently attractive and innovative designs executed with unfailing skill. David Bogue unknown
