First edition. Lettered sewn card wrappers, both of which are detached and somewhat nicked and chipped with some edge loss, and with portions of the unprinted paper spine absent. Some discolouration to the margins of the first and final leaves where the wrappers are defective, yet really a very crisp copy thereafter. This constitutes the first appearance in print of Wilde's prose-poem, predating its appearance with the other five examples in July 1894 issue of 'The Fortnightly Review'. Other contributors to this issue include Eric Stenbok (his essay 'The Other Side. A Breton Legend'), A.R.Bayley (his essay 'The Defence of Posey' and his poem 'In Lyonesse'), Gleeson White (his essay 'In Praise of Idleness'), Max Beerbohm (his essay 'The Incomparable Beauty of Modern Dress', contributed as 'H.M.Beerbohm'), John Addington Symonds (his brief poem 'From the Arabic') and the editor (his poems 'In Summer' and 'Apologia Pro Classe Sua').
