An excellent single volume monograph on this iconic turn of the century, decadent illustrator. The volume showcases Beardsley's iconic, decadent, and grotesque black-ink illustrations including Oscar Wilde's Salomé, Le Morte d'Arthur, and various periodicals from his brief, brilliant career before his death from tuberculosis at age 25.

It was edited by Bruce S. Harris and features an introductory appreciation by his contemporary, the poet and critic Arthur Symons. Symons' opening text provides a personal and insightful contemporary perspective on Beardsley's rapid stylistic evolution and striking personality.
