An exhibition of original drawings by Aubrey Beardsley / with a foreword by Joseph Pennell

Beardsley, Aubrey, 1872-1898 · 1919 · Philadelphia : Rosenbach Galleries · 1 picture

An 1919 exhibition catalogue from Philadelphia's Rosenbach Galleries, presenting original drawings by Aubrey Beardsley with a foreword by Joseph Pennell, aimed at collectors and art lovers. The only picture is the cover, a black panel framed by a dense white-line border of stylised foliage, roses and tendrils set around plain capitals. A designer might take from it the strong black-and-white contrast of ornamental borders framing simple lettering.
