Salomé: Tragéde en un acte Text in French

1920Best.-Nr. 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.
