OSCAR WILDE: MONTGOMERY HYDE. H. (1907-1989). LAST LETTERS OF OSCAR WILDE TO ROBERT ROSS, 1898-1900. A very interesting and rare Wilde item, transcribed by Montgomery Hyde at a time when the full contents of these letters were almost certainly only available or circulating in just a few copies (perhaps no more than two). 8vo., (270 x 220mm), bound within brown paper wrappers, typescript title to front, tied with thin green ribbon, 60 typescript letters (ex 63), comprises: 2pp. Preparatory Note by H. Montgomery Hyde, London, October, 1949; 1pp. Abbreviations, the letters typed to single sides of 100 leaves, each letter numbered I - LXIII top centre of page, (letter nos. 37, 38, 39 are not present), numbered abbreviations to lower r.h. corners of pages, 'M.M. 64 - 90', (Max Mayerfield), and 'D. (Dulau & Co. Ltd.), 68 -130', with numerous names, references to individuals or homosexuality underlined in red ink; the first letter, '[Paris] May '98', the final letter, numbered LXIII, '(dictated), Hotel d'Alsace, Rue des Beaux Arts, Paris, Wednesday, [November 1900]', Preparatory Note by H. Montgomery Hyde: 'The following 63 letters and post-cards were the last written by Oscar Wilde to his friend and literary executor, Robert Ross. They cover the period from May, 1898 to November, 1900, thus completing the series begun by Wilde in Reading Gaol and partly published in De Profundis (1908 1.) and continued after his release in France and Italy under the later published titles of After Reading (1921) 2. and After Berneval (1922) 3. The letters were transcribed by me after copies made by Walter Ledger, the well known Wilde collector, from a type-written transcript of the originals which had previously been prepared by Stuart Mason, Wilde's biographer. 4. Ross to whom the originals were addressed, left them to Vyvyan Holland, Wilde's surviving son, and on the latter's instructions they were put up for auction, after Ross's death, in the Dulau sale rooms in London in 1929, when they were purchased by the late Mr. Gabriel Wells acting on behalf of William Andrews Clark. They are now in the Clark Memorial Library in Los Angeles, California. Extracts from this correspondence appeared in the Dulau Sales Catalogue, but the expurgation to which they had been subjected was so drastic as to render most of the personal references unintelligible. In the complete text given here the omissions are shown in red. Some of the letters have also been published in a German translation by Dr. Max Mayerfield, Oscar Wilde, Letze Briefs (1925), but here again the omissions, though less than in the Dulau Catalogue, are by no means inconsiderable . . . , 1. Edited by Robert Ross. 2. Anonymously edited by Stuart Mason. 3. Edited by More Adey. 4. The Ledger Version is now in the Robert Ross memorial Collection in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. 5. One letter, dated April 16, 1900, had been previously published in one part by Robert Ross in his Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde (1914). 6. Dulau Catalogue at pp. 16-17'. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), was an Irish poet and playwright. He was convicted of gross indecency for consensual homosexual acts in one of the first celebrity trials and imprisoned 25 May 1895-19 May 1897. Wilde left England for France on the evening of his release, and developed meningitis in 1900 whilst living in Paris: Robert Ross (1869-1918). was as an ex-art editor at the Morning Post, and his role as literary godfather was of primary importance to the Sitwells. Osbert had met Robert Ross before the First World War, and during the war years he got to know him well. Ross's bachelor rooms at 40 Half Moon Street are nostalgically recalled in 'Noble Essences' and it was through Ross that the Sitwells met amongst others, Edmund Gosse, Arnold Bennet, Siegfried Sassoon Wilfred Owen and Reginald 'Reggie' Turner. 'Reggie' was one of the few friends who remained loyal to Oscar Wilde and supported him after his release from prison. Osbert Sitwell put a comic version of his friend Reggie Turner as 'Algy Braithwaite,' into his verses 'On the Continent', 'Reggie' left England to live in Florence, concerned that some of the hostility toward Wilde might continue to be directed towards him. Oscar Wilde's correspondence to Reggie is part of the Lady Eccles Collection bequeathed to the British Library. Harford Montgomery Hyde (1907-1989) was a barrister, politician and author and a significant figure in the legalisation of homosexuality. He became a Member of Parliament in 1950 and during that decade was a vocal supporter of homosexual law reform. However, when the Wolfenden Report ('The Report of the Departmental Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution') was introduced into the House of Commons in 1958, he was deselected by his party, the Ulster unionists, for supporting its implementation. *Catalogue Note: The Robert Ross Memorial Collection although bequeathed to the College it was, for many years, housed in the Bodleian Library.

Lot 1555
A Japanese carved ivory okimono, Meiji period (1868-1912), of a woman standing with a dog at her feet and holding a puppy in her arms, signed on an inset gold plaque on the back of her right hip, 4¼in. (10.8cm.) high. * Condition: In good condition, with no faults. ** This lot is from a fine single owner collection of Chinese and Japanese ivories, which are included in this sale from lot 1495-1586. Please note that the collection will not be on view in our Guernsey saleroom - all of the lots will remain in Jersey throughout the period of viewing and the sale itself, due to the considerable costs involved in obtaining CITES licences for them to be moved between the islands. The collection was assembled by an enthusiastic and discerning collector who purchased from antiques dealers and auctions throughout the United Kingdom from 1938 to 1955. The collection has since passed down through family descent to the current owners, who are resident in Jersey in the Channel Islands. All of the lots in the collection are antique and over 100 years of age. All of these lots will be subject to international CITES regulations upon sale and will require licences to be issued by the States of Jersey for export from Jersey to other jurisdictions, the cost of which will be borne by the vendor. Please note that import licences for their ultimate destination willl be required prior to shipping - these will be the responsibility of the purchaser, as will any costs incurred, which vary internationally. Ivory cannot be exported to the USA. It will be the buyer's responsibility to check that their country of residence will permit import with the correct documentation before bidding. It is also their responsibility to obtain a valid CITES import permit from their country of residence before the item can be released. Payment will still be required within our usual terms and all bids will be binding.
