"The current popularity of the strange drawings of Aubrey Beardsley (1871-1898) marks the second apex of one of the most unusual careers in art history. Within two years after the publication of his first book illustrations, Beardsley was the best-known artist in England. Just as swiftly, with the national outcry against Oscar Wilde, his career was over. At 26 he was dead." -- Publisher's description.

"This reprint of The early work of Aubrey Beardsley is basically a reproduction of the revised edition, but with many of the plates re-printed from a finer, earlier edition and with two color plates restored. 157 plates are included, ranging from early sketches in a Burne-Jones influenced pre-Raphaelite style to such famout works as the Morte d'Arthur series, the silhouette, 'The kiss of Judas," the drawings for Salome, and 'Sigfried.'"--Page [4] of cover.
