Antique print - Exquisite Scarlet Pastorale Illustration 1948 Aubrey Beardsley
Exquisite image by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872 – 1898) - an English illustrator and author. His drawings, executed in black ink and influenced by the style of Japanese woodcuts, emphasized the grotesque, the decadent, and the erotic. He was a leading figure in the Aesthetic movement which also included Oscar Wilde and James A. McNeill Whistler. Beardsley's contribution to the development of the Art Nouveau style and the poster movement was significant, despite the brevity of his career... Beardsley was the most controversial artist of the Art Nouveau era, renowned for his dark and grotesque images: "I have one aim—the grotesque. If I am not grotesque I am nothing." Wilde said he had "a face like a silver hatchet, and grass green hair." (Wikipedia)

Very Good - Slight Marking
There is some slight marking caused by fingering of the print to the top right corner which is only really visible if held up at an angle to the light. This is hardly noticeable and does not detract from the beauty of the print.

A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.
Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor
Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
