AN IDEAL HUSBAND. BY THE AUTHOR OF LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN
London: Leonard Smithers 1899. No. 6 OF 100 COPIES of the Large Paper printing of the First Edition SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. 225 x 180 mm. 8 3/4 x 7 1/4". 8 p.l. 213 1 pp. <br/> EXUBERANT EARLY 20TH CENTURY SLATE BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO HANDSOMELY GILT AND INLAID covers framed by gilt fillets with inlaid red morocco fan cornerpieces surrounded by twining gilt vines raised bands spine compartments with leafy gilt sprays TURQUOISE MOROCCO DOUBLURES framed in gilt with botanical cornerpieces turquoise watered silk endleaves top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. In a velvet-lined black cloth clamshell box by the Chelsea Bindery. A Large Paper Copy. Front doublure with traces of bookplate removal. Mason 386. Spine evenly darkened though gilt still bright gentle wear to corners a preliminary leaf with minor closed tear at the top four pages with trivial marginal stain but an extremely attractive copy nevertheless the binding showing little use and the text notably bright clean and fresh with vast margins.<br/> <br/> This is the sought-after strictly limited and signed edition of Wilde's second hit play in a binding that suggests the truth of his aphorism "Nothing succeeds like excess." Our opulent binding is unsigned but its extravagance would surely please the great aesthete. With elegant inlays and gilt tooling plus fine leather doublures and silk endleaves out binding incorporates many of the characteristics of the early 20th century flowering of bookbinding in England. The fan cornerpieces are not only lovely but they suggest a winking reference to the play by which the unnamed author here is identified on the title page "the author of Lady Windermere's Fan". "An Ideal Husband" was successful like Wilde's other witty comedies but it has at least slightly more serious social and political content. Opening at the Haymarket Theatre in 1895 and continuing for 124 performances it features as the title character a prominent politician. He finds himself in danger of losing his reputation because of a potentially damaging letter that the play's villain threatens to expose if the husband refuses to support the former's corrupt political agenda. The play moves its characters toward a more ideal moral standard as they struggle with dishonesty hypocrisy double standards materialism and corruption of social and political life. But none of this weighs down Wilde's witty banter as the play suggests; after all even when there is a pretense of the embrace of moral probity nobody is ever that good or is even expected to be. The work is dedicated to the Irish-American writer Frank Harris who is said to have given Wilde the idea to use insider trading which related to Disraeli's financial machinations as part of the plot here. Covering the play for the "Saturday Review" George Bernard Shaw declared Wilde 1854-1900 "our only thorough playwright. He plays with everything: with wit with philosophy with drama with actors and audience with the whole theatre." Copies of the first edition of this play are not uncommon in the marketplace but our Large Paper signed edition is obviously rare as well as highly prized. Leonard Smithers unknown

Ashwell was particularly troubled by the news of Wilde’s arrest and wrote later: “… the atmosphere of London was horrible and cruel. His plays were so very brilliant and I had seen this when I was in Lady Windermere's so I felt that he was a friend and in desperate trouble.†Later during WWI she is known to have pioneered the organization of entertainments on a large scale for the British troops in France Leask Margaret Lena Ashwell: Actress Patriot Pioneer 2012.<br /> <br /> An excellent association copy of an essential Wilde rarity.

New York: Covici Friede Publishers 1934. American Reissue of the 1927 British limited edition in one volume with new illustrations. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good . Allen Lewis. 8vo 8 5/8" x 6" x 1 3/4" orange cloth with black lettering and B&W coin of Caesar on front cover Introduction by "S.W." pp.lxxxv; illustrated with frontispiece of Petronius and 5 B&W woodcuts by Allen Lewis; archival mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket unclipped with woodcut of a dancing woman by Lewis; The Fragments pp.359-378; "Wilde's Introduction" pp.379-380 381-408 pages.

Plates are clean bright and unfoxed though toned. Bright clean dust jacket unclipped with small chips at its corners.<br /> <br /> Introduced Corrected and Edited by Oscar Wilde who was an admirer of Gaius Petronius' Arbiter's Satyricon. The author MAY have been Titus Petronius Niger c. AD 27 - 66 whose suicide was ordered by Nero. <br /> <br /> This now somewhat fragmentary work was a colloquial Latin picaresque "novel" with homoerotic byplay involving Encolpius an "unusually repulsive and degenerate Hero Narrator" who has a difficult time keeping Giton his teenage boy-lover and other excitements such as the banquet of Trimalchio.<br /> <br /> Allen Lewis 1873 - 1957 from Mobile Alabama later studied with Jean-Léon Gerome at the Ecole des Beaus Arts in Paris. In 1900 his work along with Whistler and Pennell was accepted in the Paris Salon. After returning to New York in 1902 he became a member of Alfred Steiglitz's circle and was widely appreciated for his engravings and color woodcuts. Covici Friede, Publishers hardcover
