  1. Aubrey Beardsley, call your office! Nah, this is more detailed and etching-like than Beardsley, although they do have a lot in common. Very cool, thanks for sharing.

  2. It is a lot like Beardsley, though. I guess with illustrators, those whose names are remembered are often simply among the best examples of the trends of the time.
