The reprint-homage to Thomas B. Mosher's fine press issues, includes five elegantly reproduced Aubrey Beardsley illustrations, each under tissue. The illustrations includes two of Salome, The Mysterious Rose-Garden, The Scarlet Pastorale, and Ave Atque Vale. This small 437-pg hardcover (approx 4.5 x 6), and top-stained blue, is in very good+ antique condition. The paper spine title & date label is intact and legible, and the interior and Beardsley illustrations are clean, bright, unfoxed and unmarked. This is an uncommon book, perhaps given 115 years ago, as a gift, and a gem for today's collectors of Beardsley, Mosher, Art Nouveau and early 20th Century book design. It was formerly housed in a Hollywood prop house. It will be sent, carefully packed, boxed, with tracking. See less
