| Antique print - Dante in Oxford. Proctor: "Your name and college?" 1943 Max Beerbohm A reproduction of a wonderful caricature by the celebrated wit and caricaturist, Sir Max Beerbohm (1872-1956). Hovering on the edge of the Oxford aesthetes and the Cafe Royale circles, his friends included Will Rothenstein, Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas. Specialising in literary caricatures, he made his mark on the 1890s as much as Phil May or Aubrey Beardsley."Dante in Oxford. Proctor: "Your name and college?"" by the inimitable Max Beerbohm - a lovely period illustration. |
