2018Best.-Nr. ABE-1536492571049Editions des Saints Pères PARIS 2018 How would you feel as you look at the manuscript of one of the great works of literature The Picture Of Dorian Gray enthralls the reader and the actual manuscript of it is STUNNING. This gorgeous facsimile uses today's matchless ability to capture every mark the author made as it evolved. It is frankly deeply moving to hold this work in the hand. It is deservedly a substantial production and it is so beautifully produced it made this bookseller gasp. Special paper special care; and here is the nearest we shall ever get to handling an artistic priceless treasure. Only 1800 copies were issued. Today's digital fidelity captures every mark every alteration; here is an overwhelming work for any collector of Wilde. It is a truly sumptuous oversize production reproduced on Fedrigoni Avorio paper. This is almost overwhelmingly affecting. It is a large heavy book gorgeously produced and it is in a superb slipcase. It is fairly heavy and substantial in every sense and I commend it to anyone seriously interested in this extraordinary and prescient work. It may need extra postage depending on destination. Slipcased issued without a jacket NEW AND UNREAD. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. Editions des Saints Pères PARIS hardcover

1899Best.-Nr. 158271899. Shannon Charles. By the Author of Lady Windermere's Fan. London: Leonard Smithers and Co. 1899. Original mauve cloth decorated in gilt. First Edition consisting of 1000 regular copies so stated; there were also 100 signed copies on Van Gelder paper plus twelve signed copies on Japan vellum. This was the fourth and last of Wilde's four great comedies of manners -- following LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN published in 1893 A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE 1894 and THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 1899 five months earlier. "An Ideal Husband" had opened at the Theatre Royal on 3 January 1895 the actors had been quite annoyed that Wilde required them to rehearse on Christmas Day only to keep them waiting for him to appear. It was an immediate success but it was while "Earnest" and "Husband" were running that Wilde inadvisably filed suit against the Marquess of Queensberry father of Wilde's lover Lord Alfred Douglas for criminal libel; this quickly morphed into a charge of "gross indecency" against Wilde and when he was arrested in April his plays closed. Sentenced to two years' hard labour 1895-1897 upon his release he fled to France -- where he resided when this book was published. The artistic binding design is by Charles Shannon. This is a very good copy of a book that is difficult to find in any better condition: the spine is rather dull and there is moderate cover soil. Mason 385. Provenance: the front endpaper bears the signature "Wilmer C. France 1899". The pioneering female classicist Emily Wilmer Cave France 1868-1951 married name Wright after 1906 was born in Birmingham England and educated first at Girton College Cambridge then at the University of Chicago -- where she was a Fellow in Latin and in Greek while earning her Ph.D.; from 1897 until her retirement in 1933 which span includes the date this book was published she was a Professor in Greek at Bryn Mawr College.
