Sobre este artículo
London, Privately Printed [?Leonard Smithers], 1897. . First edition, [?]second issue, number 207 of 250 copies; 2 vols, large 8vo; frontispieces, publisher's autograph limitation noted to verso of first half-title, some foxing to title and early leaves; publisher's royal blue cloth decorated in gilt, partly uncut, spines very slightly dulled, but overall fine copies.
Comparing this with certain other publications of the time, such as The Life and Times of Madame du Barry, and given the format of the stated limitation, it seems certain that this work was published by Leonard Smithers (purple ink, as with Beardsley's Lysistrata). In addition, both title-pages are cancels, suggesting perhaps it was originally to be issued with titles giving the Smithers imprint. A near fine pair; uncommon.
