Yet another fascinating read, Jeffrey. This is random thing to say, but I feel like you are my own personal history/art/culture teacher. And you you teach me about artists and writers I didn’t even know existed. It’s very cool. :)

Beardsley, I think, may well be an artist for the young, his cartoonish style appealing in its simplicity but filled with darkness and a strange, almost evil, veneer. I discovered Beardsley via the Pre-Raphaelites and the resurgence of Art Nouveau that came in the 1970s. I love the feel his work has of being very intricate and special bookplates.
