Lysistrata
Beardsley, Aubrey. Aristophanes
Privately printed. 1905
A German reprint of one of Beardsley's finest illustrated books, often considered his masterpiece.
From the edition limited to 100 copies.
The combination of Beardsley's mature style with its mastery of line and composition, and an hilarious, if obscene wit, makes for a remarkable series of drawings.
This early edition closely follows the original 1896 printing, also on Japanese vellum, but here the plates are printed on large paper.
