London: J. M. Dent and Co.,, 1893. A monument of decorative book illustration First Beardsley edition, one of 1,500 copies on ordinary paper, bound from the original twelve monthly instalments published from June 1893 to mid-1894, and with the original wrappers bound in. There were also 300 copies printed on Dutch handmade paper. This was Beardsley's first major commission and the book that launched the "Beardsley look" (Gillon, p. IV).

The 351 designs appearing in the first edition required 18 months for the artist to complete. Bored with the project, Beardsley at last refused to complete Dent's original commission of 500 drawings. Of this work, John Lewis… Read More
