5.0 out of 5 stars Description, 18 Oct 2004
By Roger Lathbury (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Importance of Being Earnest (Hardcover)
This is an offset facsimile of the first printing published in 1899 in London by Leonard Smithers. According to his biographer, Richard Ellmann, Oscar Wilde worked on the design of this text himself.

The Orchises facsimile is printed on Ph balanced paper and is bound in full cloth in sewn signatures; although slightly reduced from the original in size, in most crucial respects it duplicates the original edition.
