1903réf. 006235Paris London: Leonard Smithers 1903. Wilde's satire of upper-class life premiered in 1893. This particular publication is a rather deceptive edition LIMITED to 250 copies. No publisher is given but per COPAC it is Wilde's friend Leonard Smithers who published many of the "decadent" writers of his day including Captain Sir Richard Burton. The city of publication is named as Paris but even this is in doubt and is most likely London; citing Paris may have allowed a hint of scandal to attach. Tan cloth binding with titling and the date "1903" in gilt on the spine. Clean text;154 pages. Very Good condition with minor rubbing to the margins and some red stains on the rear cover. There is a signature on the limitation page and a different one on the Title Page. The only real defect to be noted is the presence of many more signatures - as if practicing - on the endpapers and half-title page. One would be tempted to call this "juvenalia" but these appear to be adult handwriting. Some of these are pencil and others ink. Limited. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

1894réf. 149906London: John Lane at the Sign of the Bodley Head 1894. Attractively bound First edition trade issue one of 500 copies printed; a further 50 copies were also issued on handmade paper. An attractively bound copy with the bookplate to the rear pastedown of the eccentric sportsman and artist William Eden 1849-1915 father of future Prime Minister Anthony Eden and who like Wilde had a dispute with the artist James McNeill Whistler. Eden excelled at a range of sports from boxing and horse riding to shooting "the epitome of the sporting squire" ODNB a member of several clubs and well known in London society. So too was he a keen amateur artist and aesthete building a fine collection of paintings and was a member of the aristocratic group The Souls. The contrast between the sportsman and the aesthete has been noted: "There was little that was harmonious in his nature and the aesthetic side warred with and exacerbated rather than complemented his athleticism making him a bored sportsman and a militant aesthete. As he grew older the world's failure to correspond to his ideals drove him to furious rages and the debased taste of humanity confirmed his atheism - for how could a God have made such a botch of things" ibid. His dispute with Whistler was occasioned when Eden commissioned a portrait of his wife which Whistler executed but then kept the cheque without handing over the painting leading to a legal case which resulted in Whistler's book The Baronet and the Butterfly 1899. Wilde too had a lengthy rivalry with Whistler out of the courts but with very public sparring. Small quarto 204 x 148 mm. Early 20th-century pink straight-grain morocco for Hatchards of Piccadilly spine lettered in gilt pink cloth sides marbled endpapers top edge gilt pink silk page marker. Bound without initial blank. A few pencilled lines in margins. Spine lightly sunned very light rubbing at extremities slight split in hinge preceding dedication leaf contents clean; an excellent copy. Mason 364. hardcover
