Portland, Maine: Thomas B. Mosher, 1903. Limited edition of 600 copies, printed on Van Gelder hand-made paper, and the type distributed. Printed paper boards, slightly edge darkened, in the scarce original dust jacket which has some chipping, loss to head of jacket, closed tear, spine darkened. A very good copy.

Oxford: Thos. Shrimpton and Son, 1878. First Edition. Sewn binding. Very good +. Octavo, 16pp. First and only issue, with the Oxford crest on the front wrapper and title page (there were pirated editions that lacked these). A nice, sound copy, internally lovely, with the original grey-green wrappers expertly backed onto sympathetic archival paper. Overall very good or better. A fragile publication, and among the most elusive of Wilde volumes. The Newdigate Prize, awarded since 1806, is given to the best composition in English verse by an undergraduate student at Oxford. A strong effort right out of the gate from the short-lived but highly influential Anglo-Irish writer. Mason 301.

London: Thos. Shrimpton and Son, 1878. Very good in original gray-green printed wrappers which are a bit browned at edges and with a few small chips. Now housed in a custom chemise and green morocco-backed slipcase.. First Edition. With crest on wrapper, title page, and with woodcut on the last page. Wilde's first book. Wilde's poem was the Newdigate Prize winner for 1878, presented at Oxford University for best poetry. "During a vacation ramble in 1877 [Wilde] started from Greece, [and] visiting Ravenna by chance on the way, he obtained material for a poem on that ancient city, and singularly enough, Ravenna was afterwards given out as the topic for the Newdigate competition." (Hamilton, The Aesthetic Movement in England, as quoted by Mason, pg. 243). 8vo. 16pp. Mason, pg. 241.
