The Art of Aubrey Beardsley

New York: The Modern Library, 1925. Hardcover. Very Good. First Modern Library edition. Introduction by Arthur Symons. Spine sunned and a little rolled, very good lacking the dustwrapper. Ownership Signature of novelist James Ross on the front fly (this book eventually ended up in the library of Ross's sister and brother-in-law, the National Book Award-nominated poet Eleanor Ross Taylor and her husband, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Peter Taylor). Ross is best known for his 1940 noir classic novel *They Don't Dance Much*. Although Ross lived another 50 years, he never published another book. His signature is very uncommon.
