In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. AUBREY BEARDSLEY (illustrator). FIRST EDITION & FIRST PRINTING. The Original Dustjacket houses this incredibly beautiful book. It is remarkably complete with a few faults; there are a few closed edge tears, the largest of which is on the back panel top edge, between the [t] and [r] on Illustrated. It has been mended with cellotape. It is soiled in general with a few small areas of chipping to the extremities. Still remarkable in any condition as it is 95 years old and has stood the test of time. It is now housed in a removable plastic archival sleeve to protect in the future. There is no price on the dustjacket. These books were sold [see above] at Macy's [New York] for 65 cents. The boards are hardback quarter bound red cloth covered boards with black cloth spine and seven gold vertical lines near the spine edge front and back and faded gold lettering on the spine, with beveled edges. Its a sturdy book. The dustjacket has done a fabulous job and kept the boards incredibly clean and firmly bound to the page block. Brown slightly ribbed end-pages front and rear, and on the first end-page is a small pasted in image of Oscar Wilde on his deathbed. Its an incredibly evocative image. This is the great man himself resting in eternal peace. Flowers adorn him. Little rubbing to the end-page around the image. The pages are rough-cut to the front edge and the paper itself is of a good quality. It is quite luxurious. After the copyright details it states: SALOME - A tragedy in one act: translated from the French of Oscar Wilde, with sixteen drawings by Aubrey Beardsley. The next page depicts an image of: The Original Cover Design, of a peacocks feathers. This is in black and white and I think the original was in green with a gold gilt design. The following page is: THE PERSONS OF THE PLAY. [page 9] - Page 11 gives you: CAST OF THE PERFORMANCE OF [SALOME], REPRESENTED IN ENGLAND FOR THE FIRST TIME. - NEW STAGE CLUB - SALOME BY OSCAR WILDE, MAY 10th and 13th, 1905. Page 12 and 13: Depicts the advertising for Richard Straus premier in The Königliches Operahouse in Dresden in 1905. The opera is famous (at the time of its premiere, infamous) for its "Dance of the Seven Veils". The final scene is frequently heard as a concert-piece for dramatic sopranos. There are several pages of notes on Salome. A letter to The Times from Oscar Wilde and several very interesting historical references of Salome being banned in the UK until 1907. Then, on page 25, the tragedy begins. Contains 120 printed pages with sixteen drawings by Aubrey Beardsley, to accompany the play. Apart from faint occasional foxing, the pages are beautifully clean throughout. - END - RAPID DISPATCH.

In den WarenkorbTranslated from the French of Oscar Wilde, with a pictorial title-page border, ten full page plates and a tail-piece by Aubrey Beardsley. First edition in English, first illustrated edition. ?One of 500" ordinary copies (actually 750, see Nelson), of a total edition of 875. Small 4to., original blue canvas boards with a small design by Beardsley on both covers. Uncut and partly unopened. London, Elkin Mathews & John Lane. An unusually good copy, spine just faded and extremely light wear to the extremities of the spine, with the contemporary ownership inscription of Violet Tweedale, mystic, psychic, member of the Order of the Golden Dawn, author of ghost stories. Contemporary critics thought it 'the very essence of the decadent' (The Studio, Feb 15 1894), and more recent scholarship continues to view 'the Salome which Wilde created, Beardsley decorated, and the Bodley Head published' as 'the ultimate expression in English of the literary and aesthetic movement which ended with the arrest of Wilde the following year' ("The Early Nineties: A View from the Bodley Head" James G. Nelson, 1971). Wilde, however, 'was disconcerted by the reversal of the usual role of illustrator as submissive interpreter of the author?s intentions' (Aubrey Beardsley Ian Fletcher, 1987), admitting that while he admired Beardsley's illustrations, he did not like them; they were 'cruel and evil and so like dear Aubrey, who has a face like a silver hatchet, with grass-green hair.' Neither did Beardsley much care for Wilde's writing, declaring upon finishing the illustrations that 'now I have given distinction to that tedious book' (See Fiona Barnard's excellent article Oscar Wilde, Salome: a tragedy in one act, 1894 for more). Wilde first asked Bosie, Lord Alfred Douglas, to translate his text into English, hoping 'that their names might be able to appear together on the title page of his most infamously decadent work. He had asked Douglas to do the translation because his love blinded him to the young man's faults. it was fantasy on Wilde's part to think that he could render into English something that only Wilde could do to his own satisfaction.' (Bosie, Douglas Murray, 2000). Wilde was ultimately forced to reject the translation as insufficient, sparking heated arguments on the croquet lawn and vitriolic letters, only exacerbated by Beardsley's offer to perform the task himself. Douglas' name does not appear on the title page, but in an effort to smooth things over Wilde dedicated the book, not entirely truthfully, 'To My Friend Lord Alfred Douglas, the translator of my play'. Eternally controversial, several of Beardsley's designs were deemed too transgressive to print in this first edition and were either modified or removed entirely; male genitals were excised from the hermaphrodite on the title page, John & Salome was substituted for The Black Cape, Salome on Settle was removed, and The Toilette of Salome was substituted for an alternative version in contemporary dress, which eliminated a potentially offensive page seated in the corner, whose visible pubic hair was one step too far for late Victorian morals. The original title page was not published until John Lane's edition of 1907, with the suppressed and altered plates appearing in Smithers' "Melmoth" edition of 1904.
