About This Item
Boston. The Wyman-Fogg Co. 1909. Bound in brown textured cloth over boards. Imprinted paper spine labels. T.e.g. 8vo. The Authorized Edition Deluxe. Each volume illustrated with a monochrome frontis. A scarce collection of Wilde's works, edited by his close friend Robert Ross. Several volumes present small spots of discoloration to front and/or rear covers. Several labels lightly stained. All volumes present light water staining to top and bottom margins of text block throughout (not intruding upon text). Pages delicately waved. This set has obviously seen moisture in it's distant past however, the resultant effects although wide spread are fairly moderate and do not detract from the stability or readability of this set. A Very Good crisp, tight and scarce set.
