Sobre este artículo
London: Methuen& Co, 1927. Hardcover. Near Fine. [xix] pp180 A lovely copy of the eighth edition of Wilde's one act play, Salome, published along with fragments of La Sainte Courtisane and A Florentine Tragedy. The book is near fine in green boards which are faded to the top edges but otherwise very fresh with sharp corners. The edges of the pages are a little foxed, the binding is tight and the book appears to be unread. In the rare near fine dust jacket which is clean and bright apart from a few spots and one short closed tear to the head of the spine. Near Fine 1927
Sinopsis
Salome is a tragic play written by Oscar Wilde, which tells the biblical story of Salome. Salome dances the Dance of the Seven Veils so well that she receives a boon from her stepfather Herod Antipas. Much to his dismay and her mother's delight she requests the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter. Though John is a favorite of Herod and under his protection, Herod cannot rescind his boon.Wilde originally wrote the play in French, and it was translated three years later into English.

I have number 183. This is a wonderful illustration book. Every page is a work of art not to mention the Wilde part of it.
