"Aubrey Beardsley was born in Brighton, England, in 1872. At the age of eleven, he was an accomplished enough pianist to appear in public, and a few years later was writing and appearing in his own plays. At sixteen, he became a clerk in the office of the borough surveyor, in Clerkenham, North London, but his health broke down and providentially for his artistic development, he was forced to leave this post."
