First Tauchnitz editions, first impressions, in handsome continental bindings. The Tauchnitz editions were produced for English-speaking travellers on the continent, who would often replicate the common route of Grand Tours. While Tauchnitz editions are sometimes thought of as piracies, they were in fact authorized editions marketed at such travellers. Together 6 works, octavo (166 x 120 mm). Contemporary red quarter morocco, marbled paper sides, spines lettered and decorated in gilt, The Happy Prince with additional decoration in blind, top edges gilt, others untrimmed, marbled endpapers, cream silk bookmarkers.

Prima edizione
First Edition. First Edition. Small octavo. Original publisher's printed salmon paper boards, edges uncut. This is the scarce collection of Wilde's collection of Wilde's humorous mystery stories, published in the same year as the first book form edition of Wilde's successful "Picture of Dorian Gray." A wonderfully preserved copy of a very difficult Wilde copy to find in presentable condition, owing to the fragile quality of the paper covered boards, extending over and including the spine, with the opening and closing of the book causing wear and separation to occur. Our copy has that interface completely intact, and covers are clean and bright. One very small paper tape applied to corner of page. About as nice a copy one could hope to find. Housed in nice beige cloth folding chemise (lined with blue felt) and matching morocco backed (gilt lettering, raised bands, gilt decorations) cloth slipcase. Most desirable.
