Product Description
The 1917 1st (and only) edition of this contemporary reminiscence of Oscar Wilde.
Authored by friend and fellow writer and member of the late 19th century Decadent movement, Edgar Saltus.
According to the book's publisher Brothers of the Book (of Chicago), 474 copies were issued and "no second edition will be made".
Of the 474 copies published, this is within the smallest limitation, #47 OF ONLY 49 COPIES SIGNED BY EDGAR SALTUS AND BOUND IN A FULL, GILT-TITLED, "INOMACHI" VELLUM.
A solid, sharp octavo, in its deckled fore and bottom-edges.
Light soiling and spotting to the panels, rendering this copy a VG.
An important, early fine press tribute to Oscar Wilde, fragile and very uncommon in its earliest iteration.
