First Vassos trade edition, first printing, inscribed on the half-title by the illustrator, "To Josephine Allen, in symbolism, John Vassos", and with Allen's signature on the front pastedown. Vassos's art-deco illustrations poignantly complement Wilde's famous poem. Vassos (1898-1985) was an American industrial and graphic desig…ner famous for designing the first commercially available television sets and many popular logos. In 1926, Vassos's design for a cover illustration for a stage production of Salomé caught the attention of the publishers E. P. Dutton, resulting in a Vassos-illustrated edition of the play published in 1927. He illustrated eight further books, of which this is the second. Octavo. Monochrome frontispiece, 15 plates by Vassos, all with tissue guards. Original blue boards, black cloth backstrip lettered in gilt, front board with illustration in black and gilt, pale grey endpapers, top edge blue, fore and bottom edges uncut. With dust jacket. Spine a little cocked, top edge toned, closed tear to outer margin of pp. 35-6; jacket unclipped, nicks, chips, and short closed tears to extremities, spine sunned: a very good copy in like jacket.
