[Rarebooks] FS: Oscar Wilde in lovely full morocco with inlays

[Charles Agvent]

[WILDE,  Oscar--attributed translator] D'AUREVILLY,  Barbey.  WHAT
NEVER  DIES: A ROMANCE. Paris: Privately Printed 1902. First  Edition.
Stated   limitation  of  500  copies,   this  work  was  offered  as a
translation  by  Oscar  Wilde  but later refuted  by  Paris  publisher
Charles  Carrington.  In any case our copy is in a beautiful  unsigned
full  burgundy  morocco binding with five raised bands  and  extensive
gold  tooling on the spine and both covers, each of which also has  28
small  diamond-shaped black morocco inlays. Some minor rubbing to  the
top  joint  of both covers but quite nice. Beautifully bound  copy  of
this literary curiousity.                                      $350.00
