The Aubrey Beardsley Coloring Book : Elegant Black And White Art Nouveau Illustrations From Victorian London

Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) died too young to be an Edwardian (the Edwardian age lasted from 1901 to 1910). But although tuberculosis claimed Beardsley at the age of 25, during his short life he created a body of work that epitomized the fluid elegance that the modern viewer recognizes in Downton Abbey and Merchant-Ivory films. His black and white illustrations capture the gorgeousness and the absurdity of fashion, both Victorian and historical. The 32 high-quality illustrations in this coloring book have been digitally cleaned and de-yellowed, and printed on one side of each 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm) page for a pleasurable coloring experience. Note: Although Aubrey Beardsley was somewhat notorious for his decadent Lysistrata and Salome illustrations, the images selected for this coloring book are G-rated and entirely family-friendly.
