Although well received by much of the public, The Yellow Book was attacked by critics as indecent. So strong was the perceived link between Beardsley, Wilde, and The Yellow Book that Beardsley was dismissed in April 1895 from his post as art editor following Wilde's arrest, even though Wilde had in fact never contributed to the magazine. The drawing will be delivered with a complete biography of Aubrey Beardsley. Personal checks accepted subject to bank clearance. Payment must be received within 72 hours of auction end.
