With a small strip of discolouration to the edges and final page, and very minor age wear, otherwise GArthur Lee Humphreys (1865-1946) British Publisher, Manager of the London bookstore Hatchards.Humphreys was the publisher of the privately printed first edition of Oscariana (a collection of aphorisms by Wilde compiled by his wife, Constance), in 1895. Whilst the present letter is undated and therefore may refer to the ‘proofs’ for Wilde’s The Soul of a Man, it appears far more likely that Copeland and Day would be interested in Oscariana due to Wilde’s recent conviction for ‘gross indecency’. That Wilde and Humphreys were wishing to publish with Copeland and Day is not surprising. Wilde was on friendly terms with Day, and his Boston publishing house had already issued the American editions of The Sphinx and Salomé.Copeland and Day, American publishing firm, influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and William Morris's Kelmscott Press.
