- Notes:
- Publisher listed as "Ye Olde Paris Booke-Shoppe", which is what is listed in the WorldCat record, but is also listed as by Simpkin, Marshall & Co. The presumption is that the publisher listed is a "pseudonym", hence we list it with the true publisher name, e.g. so that all of that publishers books are listed together.
- Green cloth boards, spine lettered and ruled in gilt. Apparently no dust jacket.
- Illustrated with 30 original pen and ink wash illustrations, no attribution or signature except for one which bears the signature of Wilde's fictional artist "B. Hallward". Christie's says the art bears a "striking resemblance to the work of Osbert Lancaster", who we credit here.
- Data from Christie's Auction House and from WorldCat.
