Sobre este artículo
London: Leonard Smithers, 1898. Wilde used his prisoner's number as his nom de plume for the early printings. This is a Very Good copy of the "Fourth Edition" (Printing). Tan and cream-coloured binding with gilt titling on the spine. Clean text; 31 pages, text printed only on the recto. There is a contemporary (22 May 1898) previous-owner signature (only three letters) on the front free endpaper. There is a tiny bookseller label (Brentano's, Paris) on the rear paste-down. The paste-downs and free endpapers are typically tanned. The corners are bumped; surfaces soiled; and there is a crease on the rear cover. The spine has darkened but the lettering remains readable. Within this rather used-looking exterior the textblock is wonderfully fresh and bright. A solid copy of this rare edition.. Fourth Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
