An attractively bound copy of this collaboration between the poet Ernest Dowson, illustrator Aubrey Beardsley, author Arthur Symons and portrait sketcher William Rothenstein. It was first published in 1905. Beardsley requested days before his death that Leonard Smithers, a London publisher and Beardsley's friend, "destroy all copies of Lysistrata and bad drawings By all that is holy, all obscene drawings" (ODNB), his requests were not fulfilled as Leonard sold recreations and forgeries of Beardsley's work after his death. Ernest Dowson (1867-1900) was best known for his romantic poetry. Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell sourced her inspiration from one of Dowson's poems. Octavo (185 x 25 mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece with tissue guard, 5 plates (1 photographic). Contemporary red calf by Riviere and Son, spine with raised bands, green morocco labels lettered in gilt, compartments in gilt, double borders in gilt to covers, board edges milled in gilt, gilt inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt.

First edition in English and first Beardsley edition, deluxe issue, one of 100 copies printed on Japanese vellum and bound in green silk boards. "If Le Morte Darthur made Beardsley known, his designs for the first edition in English of Wilde's Salomé made him notorious, and it remains the book of which most people think when his name is mentioned" (Ray). Translated by Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas, this edition appeared the year after the play's publication in French. The premiere took place on 11 February 1896 at the Comédie-Parisienne. To restrict its public staging in Britain, the Lord Chamberlain cited Protestant Reformation laws banning religious plays. An opera version was sanctioned for performance in 1910, though the play itself had to be staged privately until the first public performance at the Savoy Theatre in 1931. A further 500 copies were printed on smaller paper and bound in blue canvas boards. Mason 351; Ray 315A. Small quarto. Frontispiece and illustrated title page with tissue guard, illustrated border on list of illustrations page, 9 plates, final tailpiece, all by Beardsley. Publisher's 16-page advertisements at end.

First edition in English, the first to feature Beardsley's elegant art nouveau illustrations. "If Le Morte Darthur made Beardsley known, his designs for the first edition in English of Wilde's Salomé made him notorious, and it remains the book of which most people think when his name is mentioned" (Ray). Salomé was published in French in 1893. This English translation by Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas was published the following year in a run of 500 trade copies, as here, and 100 on large paper. The premiere took place on 11 February 1896 at the Comédie-Parisienne; the Lord Chamberlain cited Protestant Reformation laws banning religious plays to restrict the public staging in Britain. An opera version was sanctioned for performance in 1910, though the play itself had to be staged privately until the first public performance at the Savoy Theatre in 1931. Mason 350; Ray 315A.
