WILDE, Oscar (1854-1900). An Ideal Husband. London: Leonard Smithers and Co., 1899.
First edition, large-paper issue signed by the author, number 85 of 100 signed copies on Dutch hand-made paper. The play opened in January 1895 at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, to a standing ovation from the Prince of Wales and prominent members of the British government, before being shut down on 6 April, the day after Wilde's arrest. As a result of his disgrace, the play would only be published by Smithers some four years later. Mason 386.
Quarto (222 x 180mm). Half-title. Original light brown-red cloth gilt, with designs by Charles Shannon, uncut (spine lightly faded, cloth at upper joint slightly split).
