Wilde, Oscar

The Picture of Dorian Gray. With 12 original color lithographs and a suite of four signed original etchings by Jim Dine

London, Petersburg Press 1969

45 x 32 cm. 50 pages of text, some with small drawings. Original green velvet binding with silver-embossed lettering. In original slipcase. One of 200 numbered copies, including the mostly missing suite of four signed original etchings by Jim Dine. This never-performed stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's famous novel was created in collaboration with director Robert Kidd at the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham. The book's design inventively alternates between the spontaneity of a "working script for the stage" and the opulent presentation of a classic edition. The book's green velvet binding with silver-embossed lettering prepares the reader for the opulent and decadent story of Dorian Gray. The most beautiful modern illustrated edition. Immaculately preserved.
