A House of Pomegranates - Oscar Wilde Tshirt

A House of Pomegranates - Oscar Wilde TshirtA House of Pomegranates by Oscar Wilde. Published by James R. Osgood McIlvaine and Co. London 1891. A really fresh very good to near fine copy of this title which is usually found with the front cover discoloured and darkened. Pages still uncut as issued . The colour illustrations are faint as is normal with the first edition due to an error during printing. Some very minor bubbling to rear board and slight offsetting to rear board. Spine lettering

beautifully printed on sustainably sourced Italian paper with de-bossed headline and foiled logo

the most elusive and decorative of all early 20th-century editions

created  from the 1907 first issue

but one of the most important illustrators of all time

Watch as daylight turns to dusk and Rackham’s beautiful and romantic illustration of Alice begins to fade and the brooding Jabberwocky poem mysteriously appears

most were thrown away

First published in 1888
