"This reprint of The early work of Aubrey Beardsley is basically a reproduction of the revised edition, but with many of the plates re-printed from a finer, earlier edition and with two color plates restored. 157 plates are included, ranging from early sketches in a Burne-Jones influenced pre-Raphaelite style to such famout works as the Morte d'Arthur series, the silhouette, 'The kiss of Judas," the drawings for Salome, and 'Sigfried.'" - Dust jacket
