The above illustrations vary in size from 3-1/4 × 2-1/2 to 6-1/2 × 4-1/2 inches. They are unsigned, but a prefatory note describes them as being "the perfectly original designs and drawings of a boy now in the school, A. V. Beardsley"; and adds: "Our regret is that, lacking experience in the preparation of drawings for the photo-engraver, the reproductions should fall so far short of the original sketches." Published in the programme and book of words of the Brighton Grammar School Annual Entertainment at the Dome, on Wednesday, Dec, 19, 1888; bound up afterwards with Past and Present, February 1889. Latter part of 1888.

I. Manon Lescaut, three drawings to illustrate different scenes from. Executed with very fine pen and ink, the latter having, as compared with maturer works, a brownish tinge. One of them first appeared in "A Second Book of Fifty Drawings by Aubrey Beardsley" (Leonard Smithers, December 1898), and all three were included in "The Later Work of Aubrey Beardsley" (John Lane, 1901).
II. La Dame aux Camélias. 4-3/8 inches square, pen and brownish ink with wash. First published in "Second Book," and afterwards in "Later Work." This is a totally different design from that which afterwards appeared, with the same title, in "The Yellow Book." See below.
