Beardsley mocked Wilde in his illustrations, depicting him as the 'Woman in the Moon' and as a jester in 'Enter Herodias'. First published in French the previous year without Beardsley's illustrations due to censorship problems: the production of the play had its license withheld by the Lord Chamberlain on the grounds of its having introduced biblical characters. LASNER 59. MASON 350. Ten full page black and white plates by Beardsley. Text clean, renewed endpapers, slight rubbing to covers.
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.
