Beyond the introduction

A historical link, not a salon guest

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) died before Natalie established the long-running Paris salon at 20 rue Jacob. He belongs on the Constellation chiefly through documented family and literary connections, including his niece Dolly Wilde, not as someone who attended a later gathering.
