Salome: A Tragedy in One Act by Oscar Wilde with Inventions by John Vassos (1927)
This is a first edition copy of Salome: A Tragedy in One Act by Oscar Wilde published in 1927 by E.P. Dutton. What makes this copy exceptional is that there are 13 stunning art deco gouache plates by illustrator John Vassos.
Vassos was an American industrial designer and artist best known for his art deco illustrated books and industrial designs such as the iconic Perey turnstile used in many subway stations. His first industrial design product was a lotion bottle in1924 which quickly became popular as a hip flask during prohibition.
Between 1927 and 1935, Vassos illustrated many books, including Salome, Ballad of Reading Gaol, and The Harlot's House and Other Poems – three literary works by Oscar Wilde published by E.P. Dutton. Vassos's iconic subjective illustrations were influenced by cinema and reflected cubist and constructivist, geometrical styles. They were often in black and white gouache (opaque watercolor).
The illustrations in this edition followed Vassos’ illustration of a program cover of a stage production of Salome the year prior in 1926.
