Image description

In 1893 Beardsley was invited to produce decorations for Bon-Mots, a series of pocket-size books of sayings of English wits. Free to use his imagination independently of text, he dotted the books with tiny grotesques. These he described as ‘quite mad and a little indecent. Strange hermaphroditic creatures wandering about in Pierrot costumes or modern dress, quite a new world of my own creation.’ His idiosyncratic drawing style, of sinuous lines and solid blacks, was inspired in part by Japanese art.
