Aubrey Beardsley
Baluschek was profiled in 1904 as the first in a monograph series by Hermann Esswein titled "Modern Illustrators", which later included Edvard Munch, Toulouse-Lautrec and Aubrey Beardsley. Esswein highlighted not only Baluschek's popular fairytale illustrations, but also his gritty renderings of Berlin working-class life.
