Beardsley (Aubrey).- O'Sullivan (Vincent) The Houses of Sin, first edition, one of 400 copies, slight stain to some upper margins, endpapers browned, original parchment with gilt design by Beardsley, a little soiled, [Lasner 120; Nelson 1897.10], Leonard Smithers, 1897; A Book of Bargains, first edition, frontispiece by Beardsley, original maroon buckram, a little soiled, one corner bumped, [Lasner 109; Nelson 331], Leonard Smithers, 1896, 8vo (2)

⁂ Beardsley referred to his design for the covers of the first book as "very pretty". The second item is a collection of macabre short stories in which Beardsley's frontispiece of Madame Jahn is one of his most successful drawings, the heavier pen work on the face and table contrasting with the dress which is outlined in dots.
