First printing thus. Quartos. SAVOR THE SAVOY! The Savoy was Aubrey Beardsley's (1872-1898) breakaway dream come true. Adrift after losing his position as art director for The Yellow Book (1894-1897), the groundbreaking fin de siecle quarterly, Beardsley was approached by the Symbolist poet Arthur Symons (1865-1945) to publish an illustrated quarterly of their own. Stylish, modern, a showcase for the finest artists and writers of the moment, The Savoy meant everything to Beardsley. Here is the best work of a youthful genius, placing artwork in perfect counterpoint within the text which flows through the pages of open space, everything moving toward the inevitable end of Victorian culture. As editor, Symons must be acknowledged for his roving aesthetic sense and his ability to say yes to everything Beardsley wanted. Savor The Savoy! Light shelf wear, some pages unopened, light toning endpapers and edges text block, all fine in custom cut mylar covers. Blue publisher's cloth, elaborately gilt with Beardsley illustrations, original covers bound in. Illustrations By Aubrey Beardsley (illustrator).…

Condition: Good. First edition. First edition, first printing. [vi], 168, 16 pp. Bound in publisher's dark cloth with stamped in white, spine lettered in gilt. Good, binding soiled and worn, stained at bottom corners. Offsetting to endsheets, former owner bookplate to front paste down, inner hinges slightly exposed. Horizontal tear to pp. 87/88 with no loss. An enduringly-popular cosmic horror novella and precursor to weird fiction inspired by the author's upbringing in the Welsh countryside near the Roman ruins at Caerwent. Viewed as degenerate literature it was condemned as decadent and immoral for its frank depictions of sexuality. It would inspire Bram Stoker's Dracula, Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror, and works by Clark Ashton Smith and Stephen King. Increasingly uncommon.…

The British publisher J.M. Dent commissioned twenty-year-old Aubrey Beardsley to illustrate a luxurious serialized edition of the medieval classic in 1892, during the height of the Book Beautiful movement. The result made Beardsley a household name for the remainder of his short but brilliant life.…

Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition in English of Wilde's seminal one-act tragedy and the first to feature Aubrey Beardsley's lavishly unrestrained illustrations. One of 500 copies. [xii], 67, [1], 16 ads, illustrated with frontispiece, 9 full page plates, and singular tailpiece. Bound in publisher's blue canvas cloth decoratively stamped in gilt after design by Beardsley. Near Fine with light sunning to spine and edges, light foxing to cloth. Offsetting to front endsheets and armorial bookplate to pastedown there, contents lightly tanned. A beautiful copy of a definitive work of the Decadent movement. Composed initially in French, Wilde allegedly intended for Sarah Bernhardt to play Salome in hopes of bypassing strict British censors, although it was inevitably banned by Lord Chamberlain due to the depiction of biblical characters. The play premiered on February 11, 1896, at the Theatre de l'Oeuvre in Paris starring Lina Munte and directed by Lugne-Poe. Rave reviews ensued and later adaptions followed, most notably Richard Strauss' Dresden production which premiered in 1905. The radical work served as a direct affront to Victorian moral standards and cemented the femme fatale archetype for future avant-garde luminaries. Mason 350. …

The scarce portfolio tailored to be a collector's item produced in response to the success of the previous three editions and subsequent Beardsley craze, as evidenced by the publisher's note, which emphasizes how the book is "distinguished from its predecessors, so far as Beardsley is concerned" due to the three illustrations "which have never before been printed with the Morte Darthur." Produced without text, the work simply exemplifies Beardsley's striking renditions of the Arthurian legend.…
