Aubrey Beardsley

 

A celebration of all things grotesque in honour of the the 154th anniversary of the birth of illustrator Aubrey Beardsley (1892–1898). Although Beardsley died of tuberculosis at the age of just twenty-five, he left behind more than one thousand drawings, transforming the worlds of book illustration, graphic art, and poster design. Browse the catalogue to discover Beardsley's extraordinary legacy, ranging from some of his earliest schoolboy illustrations to editions of his work published almost a century later.
