Folio 1 (Recto)

Created by Sandra Leonard on Tue, 08/10/2021 - 15:47

Folio 1 is a loose leaf of the July 1889 printing of the first page of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. There are no markings on this page except for a number "1" in square brackets in the upper right corner which does not seem to be in Wilde's handwriting. This page is not affixed into notebook in the same manner as other pages from Blackwood's in the manuscript. There is a brown stain on the top center of the page that may resemble the color of the stain on the cutout in folio 15.
