Delve deeper into the work of the intriguing and iconic artist
Aubrey Beardsley with this beautiful reissue of his classic 1897
illustrated book, containing fifty of his best known works. Aubrey
Beardsley (1872–1898) lived a desperately short life and his
career spanned just seven years. Nonetheless, his output as a
draughtsman and illustrator was prolific. Beardsley's subversive
illustrations became synonymous with decadence: he delighted in the
erotic, shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humour and
fascination with the grotesque. His work was deemed too scandalous
by many publishers of the period, but found a suitably unseemly
home with the notorious Leonard Charles Smithers. This book,
published by Smithers in 1897, and now reproduced in a
near-facsimile edition, is as much a historic document as it is a
beautiful introduction to Beardsley's art.
