Wilde, Oscar AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED, TO "DEAR SIR" (R.E. FORREST) responding gracefully to a suggested change to his essay 'The Artist as Critic' ("... I do not agree with you that 'whirring wheel' is unmusical, but I think the epithet is too obvious - and also, as you have reminded me, it is not true - it conveys a wrong image. 'Silent' I like very much..."), 4 pages, 8vo, 16 Tite Street, London, [between July 1890 and May 1891], framed and glazed alongside a transcription
