Quarter bound in publisher's purple cloth over blue boards, silver lettering on spine, silver "OW" medallion on cover, . Illustrated with full-page, full-color, plates, as well as in-text illustrations and head and tail-pieces by Lucille Corcos. Introduction By Andr Maurois. When it was first published by Lippincott's Magazine in 1890, Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was considered by some members of the English public to be immoral. Its controversial reputation only grew when, in 1895, Wilde stood trial for homosexual acts, and the novel was used as evidence. . Spine sunned, former owner's bookplate tipped-in on ffep, otherwise the volume is in perfect, pristine condition, unmarked, tight, square, and clean. The matching blue slipcase is solid and whole, with some wear along the fore-edge. VERY GOOD. Color Plates and illustrations. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 282 pp
