[WILDE, Oscar (1854-1900).] An Ideal Husband by the Author of Lady Windermere's Fan. London: Leonard Smithers and Co, 1899.

The first edition, one of 1,000 copies printed. An Ideal Husband premiered in London at the Haymarket on 3 January 1895; its closing night there coincided with Wilde's arrest for gross indecency. It continued at the Criterion with Wilde's name stricken from the playbills. Wilde's imprisonment led to a several years delay in the publication of the text, with his name also obfuscated.

Octavo. Original lilac cloth with gilt design by Charles Shannon, uncut (spine a little sunned, minor soiling to covers, tips slightly bumped).
