"Salome, a tragedy in one act" by Oscar Wilde and illustrated and hand illuminated by Valenti Angelo - Heritage Press, New York - 1945 first thus edition - 18cmx15cm -c ondition: very good, in black decorated binding, all illustrations present, in original slipcase

Salome (French: Salomé, pronounced [salɔme]) is a one-act tragedy by Oscar Wilde. The original version of the play was first published in French in 1893; an English translation was published a year later. The play depicts the attempted seduction of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) by Salome, stepdaughter of Herod Antipas; her dance of the seven veils; the execution of Jokanaan at Salome's instigation; and her death on Herod's orders.

The first production was in Paris in 1896. Because the play depicted biblical characters it was banned in Britain and was not performed publicly there until 1931. The play became popular in Germany, and Wilde's text was taken by the composer Richard Strauss as the basis of his 1905 opera Salome, the international success of which has tended to overshadow Wilde's original play. Film and other adaptations have been made of the play.

Articolo come da descrizione. Imballo accurato per quanto riguarda il libro, suggerisco però una scatola più piccola, in cui l’oggetto non possa muoversi col rischio di danneggiarsi

Helaas is er geen mogelijkheid om op te halen, en de kosten waren vantevoren bekend. Dus helaas is dit onterechte kritiek.

Everything great. Thank you

Both books were badly bumped in transit, but that is more the fault of the carrier. Otherwise, everything ok.

De toestand van de (matige) rug werd niet op de foto`s getoond. Dit maal wel een keer stevig verpakt verstuurd. Hopelijk een blijvende verbetering bij deze verkoper.
