Though the majority of Aubrey Beardsley's life (1872-1898) was overshadowed by illness - he was diagnosed with tuberculosis at the age of seven - his glittering achievements in the field of graphic illustration continue to enthral. During his life he enjoyed celebrity & notoriety in equal measure. Authoress Aileen Reed explores all avenues of his life and seminal career in this superb large-format anthology. After a detailed introduction, which cites his influences, we are given over to a beautiful collection of his B&W and colour prints. Each is identified by title, dimension, location & other details. For anyone interested in Beardsley's astonishing but sadly short career, he was not yet 26 years old when he died, this edition provides a fascinating insight.
