The Ballad of Reading Gaol

Wilde, Oscar

£100.00

7th edition (as stated to verso of title page); the first edition to use Wilde’s name to title page. The last authorised edition published by Leonard Smithers and Co, with the publisher’s address to title page. One of apparently 2000 copies. Original two-tone cloth boards; spine lettered in gilt. 31 numbered pages, printed to recto only. First and last few leaves uncut. Page edges untrimmed. Covers grubby and stained. Spine ends chipped. Leaves clean with just the slightest hint of foxing and some off-setting to endpapers. A very good copy.
