About This Item
London: Unicorn Press 1955, 1000 copies. (Hardcover) Very good plus in very good dust jacket. 165pp. Blue cloth with silver lettering and design on the cover and spine. Frontispiece, plates. The spine and edges are lightly worn, there is a previous owner's book stamp on the front free endpaper, and the dust jacket is price-clipped. "Today, as we re-peruse the chefs-d'oeuvre of this master penman, it does not occur to us to blench, on irrelevant, unaesthetic grounds. Smiling tolerance of the artist's exuberant daring has today succeeded the virulent destation of late-Victorian moralists, who designated Beardsley's brilliant and elightful studies 'shocking,' 'decadent,' 'unwholesome'" - from the Biographical Introduction by Kenelm Foss. Photography by Frederick Hollyer. Introduction and commentary by Kenelm Foss. (Art, Art, Biography, Drawing).
