Lot 448A

WILDE (Oscar) The Picture of Dorian Gray, first edition in book form, London: Ward, Lock and Co [1891], 8vo, presentation copy inscribed by the author on the verso of the half title 'Frank, from his friend Oscar. Oct 22 '91', in worn bevelled boards with gilt design after Charles Ricketts (untrimmed, occasional finger soiling, sewing weak, lacking original vellum spine strip, in need of rebacking) The novel was first published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in July 1890. The inscription may be to Frank Richardson who would have known Wilde through his friend Ada Leverson*. By family repute this copy has been in the same ownership as Sherard's 'Oscar Wilde', Hermes Press 1902, included in this lot, which has Frank Richardson's bookplate designed by Charles Sykes to the inside front cover. Equally this might be Frank Harris, who edited the English literary journal 'The Fortnightly Review' from 1886-1894 and who was a friend of Wilde. *Reference: Guy (Josephine) The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: Historical Criticism, Intentions, The Soul of Man, volume 4, OUP, page xl. together with SHERARD (R H) Oscar Wilde, Hermes Press 1902; The Happy Prince, second edition 1889 (poor condition); Twelve Portraits by William Rothenstein, 1929 folio, cloth (4)
