1902Best.-Nr. 140214Washington: Snohomish 1902. First edition of Wilde's classic Hellenic poem. Octavo original boards illustrated with engravings and hand painted initials embellished in gilt frontispiece by John Dennis Clancy. In very good condition. Wilde’s “theme is not as is often supposed art’s divorce from life but its inescapable arraignment by experience. His creative works almost always end in unmasking. The hand that adjusts the green carnation suddenly shakes an admonitory finger. While the ultimate virtue in Wilde’s essays is in make-believe the denouement of his dramas and narratives is that masks have to go. We must acknowledge what we are. Wilde at least was keen to do so. Though he offered himself as the apostle of pleasure his created world contains much pain” Ellmann xvi. Snohomish hardcover

1904Best.-Nr. 170766Moscow: Knigoizdatel'stvo Skorpion 1904. Each man kills the thing he loves First Russian edition first printing of this translation by Konstantin Bal'mont 1867-1942 one of the most significant Symbolists of Russia's "Silver Age" of poetry with the original illustrated wrappers by Modest Durnov 1867-1928. Bal'mont grew up on his family estate to the north-east of Moscow and demonstrated a flair for writing and languages from childhood. His 1901 collection of poems Burning Buildings Goryashchie zdaniya made him into a leading figure in the Russian Symbolist movement. He also translated Walt Whitman into Russian. Durnov is perhaps best known as an architect. His unrealised designs for Moscow's Aumont Omon Theatre included styling the entrance as the open maw of a dragon into which the public would pass. He appears to have met Wilde on a trip to London and the latter became his favourite author. In addition to executing the portrait which graces the wrappers Durnov also illustrated the 1906 Russian edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Sergei Polyakov established Skorpion in 1899 and it quickly became a unifying force in Russian Symbolism publishing poets such as Gumilev and Belyi. It also focused on publishing translations including the work of Ibsen and Poe. Bal'mont and Durnov were both heavily involved in the house from the time of its conception. Octavo 184 x 120 mm. With 6 pages of publisher's advertisements. Uncut in the original illustrated wrappers by Modest Durnov. Bookseller's stamp and inscription to rear wrapper. Some soiling to the wrappers tears to spine some spotting and light toning to the leaves. A very good copy considering its fragility. Roznatovskaia 260. unknown
1898Best.-Nr. 181391Paris: Société du Mercure de France 1898. Inscribed to a literary batailleur First edition in French number 1 of 12 copies on Holland paper inscribed by the author on the justification de tirage page: "a mon ami Robert Scheffer Oscar Wilde". Signed or inscribed copies of this edition are rare: we trace only two others in auction records. A French poet and short story writer Scheffer 1864-1926 is best remembered for his "contes rapides" or "quick tales" and for his combative style both as a literary critic and as a duellist. He took Wilde to the Folies Bergère on 10 May 1898 and presented him with a copy of his poetry collection La Chanson de Néos affectionately inscribed to the "grand poète". In 1909 Scheffer edited the short-lived gay magazine Akademos. Wilde wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol while exiled in France and originally published the work in Britain earlier the same year under the pseudonym "C.3.3." the number of his cell. He took a particular interest in this edition discussing the format type binding and other details with his translator Henry-David Davray 1873-1944. Wilde was intimately involved in the translation and Davray remembered how "Every word was weighed every term was discussed every sentence was read reread scanned with all possible intonations". Provenance: Samuel Pozzi 1846-1918 the French surgeon and pioneer gynecologist and subject of a portrait by John Singer Sargent with his bookplate. Octavo 183 x 121 mm.
