Aubrey Beardsley’s monochrome line block design for the cover of The Yellow Book, Volume II, circa 1894, London. This work exemplifies the Decadent movement through stark black-and-white ink contrasts and Art Nouveau ornamentation. The arrangement balances a woman in profile wearing a wide-ruffled collar and large bow against a background of repeating stylized tulips and a small bookshelf. As the periodical's first art editor, Beardsley utilized Japonisme-influenced flat planes and sinuous lines to establish the transgressive aesthetic of The Bodley Head’s quarterly.
