Daniel. Nevertheless their relationship recovered and the translation has since become the text most familiar to Anglophone audiences. Steven Berkoff used the Douglas translation for his critically acclaimed Salome at the National Theatre in 1988 with all its archaisms and errors unabridged.Sadly Wilde never saw the play produced. Its only performance during his lifetime was a one-off presentation at the Theatre de la Comedie-Parisienne on 11 February 1896 by which time he was already in prison. It was not performed publicly in Britain until 1931.Gertner Zatlin 865-81; Mason 350; Reade 274-83; Samuels Lasner 59; Vallance 86.

Erste Ausgabe dieser Übersetzung mit den schönen Jugendstil-Illustrationen von Beardsley. Ein Jahr zuvor erschien im selben Verlag bereits eine Übersetzung durch Paul Steegemann und 1907 eine Übertragung von Hedwig Lachmann im Insel Verlag beide mit diesen Illustrationen. Beardsleys Illustrationen - Höhepunkt und Inbegriff der Jugendstilgraphik - gelten als die bekanntesten künstlerischen Darstellungen zu Oscar Wildes Einakter. Inspiriert von der 1893 auf Französisch erschienenen Erstausgabe der Salome entwarf Beardsley eine Zeichnung zu diesem Motiv die in der Kunstzeitschrift 'The Studio' zusammen mit einem Artikel über den Künstler veröffentlicht wurde. Das große Echo machte Wilde wiederum auf Beardsley aufmerksam. So regte Wilde selbst an dass dieser die englische Ausgabe seines Dramas illustrieren solle die 1894 - zunächst jedoch nicht mit allen entworfenen und teilweise zensierten Darstellungen - erschien. Wie in einer späteren englischen Publikation 1906 wurden in der deutschen Ausgabe die abgelehnten Zeichnungen und zensierten Details übernommen.
