Sobre este artículo
London: Leonard Smithers, 1899. First published in 1898 anonymously under Wilde's Prisoner identification number, this is a copy of the Seventh Printing, which was the first to identify him by name. This copy also states "Entered at the Library of Congress Washington, U.S.A." indicating an American issue; a bit uncommon thus. Ochre cloth binding, with gilt lettering on a linen spine. Clean text; 31 pages. This is a Very Good copy, but there are some issues. The corners are bumped; there is a spot on the front cover and a few stains on the rear. Some cracking to the hingesgive it a shaken feel. Also, there is a long inscription in Latin (also done into English) on the FFEP, and a signature on the Dedication Page. A decent-enough place-holder, but certainly not for the advanced collector. . Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
