Later illustrated edition of this one-act play which tells the biblical story of Salome stepdaughter of the tetrach Herod Antipas who to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias requests the head of Jokanaan John the Baptist on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the dance of the seven veils. While the intended premier of the play was being rehearsed for production in June of 1892 at the Palace Theatre in London with Sarah Bernhardt in the leading role and Albert Darmont as Herod the lord chamberlain withheld his license invoking legislation from the protestant Reformation era which prohibited medieval miracle or otherwise religious plays. Wilde responed in print: "Personally to have my première in Paris instead of in London is a great honour and one that I appreciate sincerly. The pleasure and pride that I have experienced in the whole affair has been that Madame Sarah Bernhardt who is undoubtedly the greatest artist on any stage should have been charmed and fascinated by my play and should have wished to act in it. Every rehearsal has been a source of pleasure to me. The hear my own words spoken by the most beautiful voice in the world has been the greatest artistic jouy that it is possible to experience. So that you see as far as I am concerned I care very little about the refusal of the Lord Chamberlain to allow my play to be produced" quoted in Mason. With a seven-page bibliography of French editions and translations into fourteen languages including Yiddish. For a concise but well-documented treatment of Wilde's response to the suppression of the play in England along with a brief discussion of the early productions and a list of later productions prior to the First World War see S.

A PRESENTATION COPY FROM WILDE TO ADOLPHE RETTÉ WITH WILDE'S INSCRIPTION AND SIGNATURE ON THE FRONT FLYLEAF. Mason 348. See also: Mikhail "Oscar Wilde: Interviews and Recollections" pp. 190-91. Spine faintly sunned covers with a few small bumps and dents perhaps original with the skin or intentionally made by the binder one or two negligible finger smudges but a fine clean copy with just insignificant imperfections. This is a very special presentation copy of Wilde's most controversial play inscribed to one of three writers the author invited to edit the original French script. In the Gospel of Luke Herodias the haughty wife of Antipas tetrarch of Galilee is so incensed by the preaching of John the Baptist against her sins that she determines to be revenged. She persuades her daughter Salomé to ask Antipas the girl's stepfather for John's head as the reward for her seductive dancing. Wilde's fertile imagination converts this story into a tale of juvenile infatuation scorned and turned into demented hate. Written and first published in French "Salomé" was to have been staged in London with Sarah Bernhardt in the title role but this was prevented by the Lord Chamberlain the theater censor. Thus the play was first performed in 1896 in Paris with Bernhardt in the title role but without Wilde in attendance since he was confined at the time in Reading Gaol. It was not performed in London until 1905 in a private performance and the censor's ban was not lifted until 1932. Adolphe Retté 1863-1930 was a French poet essayist and literary figure who initially was celebrated for his decadent and symbolist poetry but later experienced a profound spiritual awakening that led him to renounce his earlier works and embrace Catholicism. He was one of three French-speaking poets along with Stuart Merrill and Pierre Louÿs Wilde solicited to look over the original script and correct any overt anglicisms. Retté who had met Wilde in Paris wrote about his involvement with "Salomé" in his memoir where he describes his admiration for the work: "Not only were Wilde's ideas subtle and delightful but he knew how to enhance them seeming to caress each word with his irresistible way of speaking." Retté marveled at Wilde's "talent as a conversationalist or rather as a monopolizer of the conversation and the wonderful way he would set forth the philosophy of 'hedonism.'" Wilde presentation copies are not exceptionally rare in general but we could find few such copies of this important first edition and none any more important as this one.

First edition. This celebrated play was written directly in French by Wilde between 1891 and 1892; first performed in 1896 its text was revised at the author's request by Marcel Schwob Stuart Merrill and Pierre Louÿs. The first English edition appeared the following year. Limited edition of 600 copies with no special issue on large paper. The second blank leaf bears the following autograph inscription signed in black ink: "À Puvis de Chavannes / Hommage respectueux / Oscar Wilde" To Pierre Puvis de Chavannes respectful homage Oscar Wilde. The celebrated painter and muralist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes 1824–1898 like Oscar Wilde 1854–1900 lived in the cult of Beauty. Renowned for his compositions of noble and hieratic character influenced both by Greco-Roman classicism and by Symbolism his work exerted a profound fascination on late nineteenth-century painters and sculptors particularly Edgar Degas Paul Gauguin Aristide Maillol and Maurice Denis. The aesthetic connection between Oscar Wilde and Puvis de Chavannes is to be sought precisely around Salomé since the artist had painted in 1869 a Beheading of Saint John the Baptist that may well have inspired the author. Moreover it is known that when Aubrey Beardsley—who would illustrate the English version of the play in 1894—came to Paris in 1893 he was strongly encouraged by the French painter who introduced him as "a young English artist who produces astonishing things." The inscription in Salomé is therefore particularly significant and of greater import than a simple tribute. A very fine provenance for this celebrated drama written directly in French by Oscar Wilde. Librairie de l’Art indépendant
