Full Description:

WILDE, Oscar. The Writings of Oscar Wilde. London and New York: A. R. Keller & Co., 1907.

The University Edition of the Uniform Edition. One of 800 numbered copies, this being number 15. Complete in fifteen octavo volumes (8 x 5 1/2 inches; 205 x 140 mm). Illustrated with plates in black and white, each with a descriptive tissue guard. Title and limitation pages on Japanese vellum, printed in black and red, with additional engraved title pages in each volume.

Half red morocco over green cloth. Spines stamped and lettered in gilt. Top edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Spines uniformly a bit darkened. Some minor occasional rubbing, the worst of it to the top edge of "Lady Windemere's Fan." Still a near fine set.

The Uniform Edition comprises the Edition De Luxe of 200 copies. the Oxford edition of 250 copies, and the University Edition (present copy) of 800 copies. This very early edition precedes the 1908 Ross edition of Wilde's works, often described as the first collected edition.
