Perhaps, with the exception of the series of drawings illustrating "Salomé," no designs are more characteristic, more strikingly original, than those contained in "The Rape of the Lock." The edition is now rapidly nearing exhaustion and the publisher has decided not to re-issue it in the original form. This work with the original illustrations is included as Vol. IX. of "The Flowers of Parnassus." Demy 16mo (5 ¾ x 4 ½ inches). Bound in Cloth, Price 1s. net. Bound in Leather, Price is. 6d. net.
VOLPONE: OR THE FOX BY BEN IONSON
A NEW EDITION, WITH A CRITICAL ESSAY ON THE AUTHOR BY VINCENT O'SULLIVAN And Illustrations by AUBREY BEARDSLEY
Together with an Eulogy of the Artist by ROBERT ROSS Demy 4to. Price 10s. 6d. net (originally published at 7s. 6d. net)
Mr. Robert Ross in his eulogy considers 1896 as Beardsley's annus mirabilis, and remarks that it would be impossible to believe he could have surpassed the work of that year but for the illustrations to "Volpone." They characterise in a very marked manner the singular genius both in creative faculty and draughtsmanship of the artist.
THE PIERROT OF THE MINUTE
A DRAMATIC PHANTASY IN ONE ACT BY ERNEST DOWSON
With Illustrations and a Cover-Design by AUBREY BEARDSLEY Crown 4to. Price 10s. 6d. net (originally published at 7s. 6d. net)
Limited to three hundred copies of the ordinary issue (of which very few remain)
A peculiar and pathetic interest attaches itself to this volume on account of the sad, even tragic end of Ernest Dowson. The obituary notices following his death were to many the first intimation of his existence, but to those who knew him there was little room for doubt that he possessed a genius which was as remarkable as it was ill-starred.
