Salome: Tragedie In Einem Akte
Leipzig: 1907. Aubrey Beardsley. Boards. The 1907 1st German appearance with the seminal Aubrey Beardsley illustrations. Solid and VG- to VG in its gray boards over navy-blue leather spine. Mild spotting to the boards (especially at the rear board), a degree of chipping along the spine, affecting the gilt-titling and the gilt-rule. Lovely former owner bookplate to the front pastedown, offsetting at the colophon, darkening along the rear blank endsheet. Still though, a very presentable copy and uncommon as such, with Aubrey Beardsley's 15 magnificent plates (including frontispiece and title page) beautifully complementing Oscar Wilde's text. #283 of 825 copies issued. Very Good. Item #23487
