Description: Quarto. Red cloth with front cover design stamped in blind in an all-over design by Bearsley, spine stamped in gilt. Light shelfwear. Near fine in dust jacket.

Description: Quarto (26cm); xviii, 65 pages, [16] leaves of plates. Bound in original red cloth stamped in blind with Aubrey Beardsley poppy design . Original dust jacket, with the same design in red on a tan ground. Dust jacket mildly frayed at spine ends, corners and top edge, with a closed tear on the upper panel repaired with cello tape and a closed tear on the lower panel without intervention, yet unusually sound and entire. Cloth about fine. Scattered light foxing in text. The last of the John Lane "Bodley Head" editions of the classic collaboration between Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde. Lane was the first English publisher of the work in 1894, but it was dropped after the 1930 edition as Allen Lane (John's nephew) transformed the houseinto the more mainstream Penguin Books. This is the large paper quarto version (the book also appeared in a smaller octavo format). Despite the detailed list of defects, this is an unusually well-preserved copy.
