Wilde Oscar C. 3. 3
The Ballad of Reading Gaol
London: Leonard Smithers 1898. First edition. Fine. One of 800 copies on handmade Van Gelder paper. A Fine copy without the fading or soiling typical of this book. Pages unopened. Housed in a custom case and chemise. Wilde's later work based on his two years hard labor at Reading Gaol for "gross indecency." Published under the pseudonym "C. 3. 3." for his cell block because the publisher feared having his name on the work would adversely affect sales. <br/><br/>The poem is based on a fellow inmate convicted of murdering his wife and generated one of the great lines from Wilde "Yet each man kills the thing he loves." Wilde continued to revise his plays until his death in 1900 but said that he had lost the joy of writing and would write no other new works. An excellent copy housed in a handsome slipcase with chemise. Fine. Leonard Smithers unknown books

Full vellum t.e.g. all others uncut; front free endpaper detached and chipped at edges some soiling to covers.

Interleaved throughout with a thin leaf of green tissue paper. First Edition. Edition de Luxe. Printed throughout in brown ink on rectos only on thin translucent deckled edged hand-made paper. 1 vols. Crown 8vo. Edition de Luxe. "A volume of short poems characterized by Oscar Wilde as 'verses full of sweet sadness and yet full of joy;' they were written by a young English friend of his of whom he speaks at length in his introduction" Publishers' Weekly October 7 1882. Rodd's dedication to Wilde reads: "To Oscar Wilde - 'Heart's Brother' - These Few Songs and Many Songs to Come." In addition to this effusive dedication "for which Wilde clearly was responsible the book was 'edited' by the omission of two poems Lucciole and Maidenhair.At the same time Wilde added nine of Rodd's poems which had not previously been collected" Mason p.185. In a letter to Thomas Mosher who reprinted this book Stoddart replies to Mosher's questions as to the number printed: "I think this deluxe issue was not over 250 copies." The edition de luxe is usually supposed to have been published earlier. Mason 242 J.M. Stoddart & Co unknown books

Often reprinted the first edition of these illustrations is scarce. <br/><br/>Johh Vassos 1898-1985 was a Greek-American illustrator artist and industrial designer. His illustrations to Salome take an art-deco approach popular with artist like Boris Artzybasheff although Vassos' use of black and white is necessarily devoid of Russian folk motifs. In their place is a wind-swept sensuality which carries substantail dramatic energy. hardcover books
