Aubrey Beardsley’s line block print for the front cover of The Yellow Book, Volume I, published April 1894 by The Bodley Head, London. The work represents the Decadent and Fin-de-siècle movements, utilizing stark monochromatic ink contrasts and Japonisme-influenced flat planes. Two masked figures appear in a masquerade setting alongside a tall, smoking candle. As the periodical's first art editor, Beardsley used this provocative design to establish a transgressive aesthetic for the influential British literary quarterly.
