Price: US$351.66 + shipping
Description: Confidant of Wilde - p.p. 62 - 2 ads plus 12 fine designs in colour by the author. Quarto. Original decorative cloth. Robertson, a talented young artist, was a friend of Wilde and Robert Ross. At the first night of Lady Windermeres Fan both Robertson & Ross wore green carnations as did Wilde when he addressed the audience. While the carnations were meaningless Wilde was delighted with the rampant speculation that the trio were members of a Masonic cabal. Robertson was also friendly with the Donegal writer, William Allingham from whom he purchased his house in Surrey.
