Sobre este artículo
London: T. Werner Laurie, 1912. Ingleby was one of the pseudonyms used by the prolific novelist Cyril Arthur Edward Justice Waggoner Ranger Gull (1876-1923). He was a friend of the "decadent" publisher Leonard Smithers and wrote one of the earliest biographies of Oscar Wilde. This is a Near Fine copy of the First Edition, a rare title. Green cloth binding, beveled and decoratively blindstamped, with titling in gilt on the spine and front cover. Clean text; 175 pages. Illustrated; frontis and four others within. There is no publication date, but per COPAC, Quercus adopts 1912 as likely. Hints only of rub to the margins. Laid-in are three newspaper clippings regarding Wilde. A superior copy of this scarce book.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
