专家说明

The present photograph was taken in the Sarony Studio, New York, by its proprietor, Napoleon Sarony, during Wilde's visit to America in 1882. It was on Wilde's arrival in New York during this trip that he was asked by a customs official if he had anything to declare; to which Wilde replied: 'only my genius'.
