Proposed black and white pen and ink illustration created by Aubrey Beardsley (1877-1898) for the cover of the Yellow Book magazine (1894-1897).
Digitised image is provided by Royal Pavilion & Museums, who currently hold the original object.
Daren Kay, Community Curator: Born in Brighton in 1872, Beardsley (1872 - 1898) is best known for his erotic illustrations for a number of avant-garde publications like the Yellow Book - a fashionable magazine that ran from 1894-1897 that took its name from the covering controversial French novels were wrapped in at the time. Tainted by his association with Oscar Wilde (who was apparently carrying a copy of the Yellow Book when he was arrested for sodomy in 1895), Beardsley was fired as Art Editor of the Yellow Book.
His original illustration for Volume V (on show here) was replaced by that of another artist. Beardsley's sexually explicit art work has earned him a place in the heart of the queer community and maintained his popularity with generations of gender non-conforming and bisexual people.
