Has anyone seen this?

A book by Oscar Wilde has a picture of Franz Liszt on it. The picture is supposed to be of Dorian Gray, but it is clearly Franz Liszt. What's going on with this?

I don't know . I haven't ever seen this, interesting though. I don't think Liszt goes by another name. Or could be publisher/editor/author mistake?

The picture, of course, exists only in the words of Oscar Wilde. So, the publisher could have used the portrait of anyone on the cover. This is a particularly appropriate portrait, I think. It has a definite narcissistic air about it.
