Transcribed and introduced by Gwyn Jones. One of 80 specials, this no. 12 and one of only 30 bound in full blue morocco with an extra engraving at the end, signed by the editor Gwyn Jones and John Buckland Wright. 11 colour wood engravings by John Buckland Wright (one engraving of flowers is repeated twice). Tall thin sm. folio, original full blue morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with gilt waterlily decoration by Buckland Wright on upper cover and gilt lettering on the spine, fore and lower edges untrimmed. An excellent copy in the original green cloth slipcase. Only 30 of the 80 specials were bound in full morocco especially for the US market which Sandford believed would not appreciate his half-bound specials. The colour wood-engravings which appeared in Salmacis were a remarkable new departure for the Press and turned out to be highly successful. Buckland-Wright used three colours - golden yellow, blue and grey and put them together so skilfully that the palate seems to be much wider with greens and varying blues and yellows. His amazing ability to engrave water and its effects on the bodies beneath it, is much in evidence and this is one of the most successful Golden Cockerel Press books of this era.…

Ransom, p. 211; Tomkinson, p. 17. âBerneval spine just a bit darkened, otherwise FINE, UNWORN COPIES that have obviously been little used, as they open stiffly and are immaculate inside and out. Here, "After Berneval" is offered with "After Reading," its (earlier) companion volume, both of them in their deluxe form on Japanese vellum and including an extra suite of the illustrations. "Reading" comprises a set of letters, also written to Ross, by Wilde during the summer of 1897, after having just been released from two years' imprisonment in Reading Gaol. The preface to its sequel, "After Berneval," says that the earlier collection "was unprocurable almost as soon as it was published." The letters in these volumes tell the story of a tragic literary figure who fell from a precipitous height. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was born and raised in Ireland, studied classics at Trinity College, Dublin, and at Magdalen College, Oxford, before settling in London. There, he became famous for his unmatched wit and infamous for his personal eccentricities--long hair, décor at his lodgings that included peacock feathers and blue china, and, ultimately, sexual behavior that was deemed both intolerable and criminal. During the first half of the 1890s, he was enjoying remarkable social prominence and literary success with the staging of "Lady Windermere's Fan" (1892), "A Woman of No Importance" (1893), "An Ideal Husband" (1894), and the incomparable "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1895). But two months after the staging of this last play, he brought a defamation suit against the Marquess of Queensbury, the father of his intimate friend, Lord Alfred Douglas. The suit backfired: in the course of the litigation, Wilde was investigated by police, and his homosexuality was exposed, leaving his reputation destroyed. He was sentenced in May of 1895 to two years of hard labor, spending part of his time behind bars at Reading Gaol, where he produced his powerful poem, "De Profundis." After release, he moved to the Continent and died three years later in Paris of meningitis. As Day says, "Among English men of letters only Byron and Shaw have surpassed Wilde in the craft of conscious posing and self-publicizing," a fact that has made succeeding generations suspicious of the reality behind the legend that the author helped to establish. But after a period when he was treated as a kind of martyr because of his suffering at the hands of squeamish Victorianism, "it is at last possible to evaluate Wilde as the capable literary artist he actually was." In physical terms, these are modest but nevertheless pleasing products of the Beaumont Press, founded by Cyril W. Beaumont in 1917. A special feature of the Press is its patterned paper bindings, each with a design created for one title only. FIRST EDITIONS.
