Hard covered book titled THE COLLECTED DRAWINGS OF AUBREY BEARDSLEY. with an appreciation by Arthur Symons, Edited by Bruce Harris, 1967, 212 pages.

Here is the art of Aubrey Beardsley full of beauty and decadence, sensuality & sin. Included are:

• THE MORTE D' ARTHUR
• COMPLETE SLAMONE (BOTH PUBLISHED & SUPPRESSED VERSIONS)
• COMPLETE RAPE OF THE LOCK
• COMPLETE VOLPONE
• SUPPRESSED ILLUSTRATIONS FOR LYSISTRATA (INCLUDING ONE NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED)
• ALL MISCELLANEOUS DRAWINGS OF IMPORTANCE
• A COLLECTION OF INTERESTING FORGERIES CLAIMED TO BE ORIGINAL BEARDSLEYS
• PERSONAL REMINISCENCE AND CRITCAL EVALUATION BY BEARDSLEY'S FRIEND, ARTHUR SYMONS
• COMPLETE CATALOG OF BEARDSLEY'S WORK

The illustrations are arranged chronologically so you can follow the growth of his artistic genius through youthful trial and error into artistic maturity and the "Beardsley line." Much of the fascination of his work is found in the fact that he produced furiously for only five years and died at the age of 26. No other book combines the very best of his own drawings with a text essential to a thorough understanding of the artist.
This fascinating book is in VG condition, the pages clean and intact, and the binding is tight.  Light foxing on the end pages, and  the outer page edges. The dust jacket is soiled and torn at the edges. The cover is worn and faded at the edges. A fantastic opportunity to add it to your art collection/library!
