About This Item
London: Methuen and Co Ltd, 1915 A good copy of the scarce 6th edition of Wilde's work, being the first illustrated by Jessie M King. In the original decorative cloth binding with colour title page, 16 tipped-in colour plates and decorative endpapers. The binding has a bright front board with some scuffing and slight cloth loss to corners. Edges including the front spine joint with scuffing. The spine is dulled with pulling and slight fraying at the spine ends. The back board is very bright with a very faint mark towards the side edge, and some scuffing to the spine joint. Corners with wear and tips turned inwards. Very slight warp to boards when viewed head on. Top page edges gilted; remainder untrimmed - pages differ in length. The contents are in very good clean condition. There is some spotting - most prevalent at the beginning and end of the work - but much less than is usual and generally at the bottom page edge. The plates and plate mounts are in lovely clean condition. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
