Item Details
Description
pirated edition , original brown wrappers with 'Oscariana' printed in red, slightly darkened at upper panel, chipped at fore-edges with small tears to spine ends, [cf. Mason pp.555-556], 8vo, " Privately Printed , 1895" [c.1903]. Probably one of the copies Mason identifies as accompanying a "fictitious prospectus" issued by a firm of booksellers around 1903. The contents correspond with Mason 629, produced in a run of 200 copies in 1895, but the upper wrapper is printed in very slightly different font and the florets are at variance with the ones on the title-page and the original, correct printed wrappers.
