[Psychological thriller] FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION. Quarto (26 x 20cm), pp.312. Illustrated with seven full-page wood engravings by Eugene Dété from drawings by Paul Thiriat of Paris, with titled tissue guards (tanned). The publisher's note on the illustrations is tipped onto the half title (although dated 1908, the book was issued in 1910 due to the artist's health). Bound in half Japanese vellum, gilt lettering to spine, sewn endbands, grey paper covered boards, top edge gilt. Discreet gift inscription to endpaper, a few light reading marks within else generally clean, edges toned, vellum is bright, paper covered boards have browned, some rubs. Decidedly scarce. The most popular of Wilde's books, The Picture of Dorian Gray appeared first in Lippincott's magazine in 1890. The story, as published in book-form, contains six new chapters, many alterations and much additional matter.
