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.
