Wilde (Oscar) The Picture of Dorian Gray, first published appearance in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, English issue, rare variant ?for overseas sale, unpriced and with "August 1890" to title and upper wrapper, occasional light marking or soiling, light foxing to title, lacking all after "Round Robin Talks II" (p.140), modern purple cane toad-backed cloth, upper wrapper (rather stained with light browning and short tear to fore-edge) bound in, [Mason 81], 8vo, Ward, Lock & Co., 1890.

⁂ A highly unusual copy of Wilde's celebrated story, published in the July issue of Lippincott's magazine but with the month here given as August on both the upper wrapper and title and without the usual "One Shilling" price to the upper wrapper. It may be that this copy was intended for sale in Australia or another far-flung corner of the British empire, but we have been unable to trace another example.
