Salomé: Tragéde en un acte Text in French

1920réf. 46822Boston: John W. Luce & Co 1920. Reprint. Slim octavo 19cm; dark red publisher's cloth stamped in gilt front; 53pp 12 plates missing one. Boards mildly worn and soiled some rubbing to extremities; textblock toned along edges and page margins; foxing and soiling intermittent throughout; some passages marked in pencil; gift inscription on ffep. Else Very Good scarce. Wilde's Salomé was published in 1891 originally in French. An English version came about in 1894 but not before a tiff over the translation work done by Lord Alfred Douglas who was Wilde's paramour at the time. This 1920 reprint retains the iconic artwork by Aubrey Beardsley and all sixteen original illustrations are listed in the index; however the plate with illustration 4 "The Woman in the Moon" is presumed missing with evidence of its loss between pgs. 6 and 7.

Black and red lettered title page. Decorative head- and tailpiece with historiated initial letter. Mild touch of soiling at bottom margin title Faint fold 7 cm at bottom outer corner upper cover creasing at fore-edge throughout 3 by 4 cm extending to rear cover. A good or slightly better copy. This collection of aphorisms was originally written for and published in the first and only issue of the Oxford University magazine The Chameleon Vol. 1 No. 1 December 1894 the successor to "The Spirit Lamp." One of Wilde's recent biographers Joseph Pearce notes that these aphorisms undoubtedly have "an air of subversive decadence that undermined conventional values." Mr. Wilde's opening observation is a good example: "The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered." The present work is in fact a pirated edition see Mason of which several variations are known. The limitation notes: "of this work seventy-five copies have been printed for private circulation" this being copy no. 35 noted in black ink.
