Beardsley's lavishly produced masterpiece and his first major commission, originally issued in twelve parts but here complete in a single volume with his decoration to every page.

Heavyweight so a contribution towards increased postage costs will be requested for overseas delivery.

Erstausgabe
First Beardsley edition, one of 1,500 copies on ordinary paper, bound from the original twelve monthly instalments published from June 1893 to mid-1894, and with the original wrappers bound in. There were also 300 copies printed on Dutch handmade paper. This was Beardsley's first major commission and the book that launched the "Beardsley look" (Gillon, p. IV). "Aubrey Beardsley's Morte Darthur was one of the most original and certainly one of the most controversial of the nineteenth-century artistic reinterpretations of Malory. Although his illustrations for the Morte established Beardsley as the voice of the 1890s, he was until that time largely an unknown young artist. La Morte Darthur proved to be an immediate sensation upon publication and the impact of Beardsley's Arthurian illustrations was tremendous. Today, Beardsley's illustrations for the Morte, which constituted almost half his lifetime's artistic output, survive as the first example of modern Arthurian book illustration, and they remain arguably the best experimental visual reinterpretation of the Arthurian world. With their bold lines, strong visual themes, and numerous memorable but unconventional details, the Morte 'pictures' (which is how Beardsley himself referred to them) created an important - although admittedly idiosyncratic - symbology and iconography. Often shockingly overt in their sexuality and eroticism, the illustrations rejected the aesthetic of the Pre-Raphaelites who were Beardsley's original mentors and offered a revisionist and parodic treatment of their medievalism. Ultimately, Beardsley went far beyond his original intention to 'flabbergast the bourgeois' of his day; he also challenged generations of readers and artists to view Arthurian society through his own modernist lens" (Lupack, pp. 75-91). "In Le Morte D'Arthur Beardsley learnt his job, but the result is no bungling student's work. If he had never illustrated another book, this edition of Morte D'Arthur could stand as a monument of decorative book illustration" (Lewis, pp. 148-9). Edmund Vincent Gillon, Illustrations for Le Morte D'Arthur, 1972; John Lewis, The Twentieth Century Book, 1984; Barbara Tepa Lupack, Illustrating Camelot, 2008. 2 volumes, large quarto (239 x 190 mm). Contemporary brown half morocco, spines with gilt-tooled raised bands, gilt lettering in compartments, brown cloth sides ruled in gilt, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt, others untrimmed, red silk bookmarkers. Engraved frontispiece to each volume, 18 wood-engraved plates (including five double-page), some retaining tissue guards, numerous text illustrations, and approximately 350 repeated designs for chapter headings and borders, all by Aubrey Beardsley. Bookplate on front pastedowns of Robert Peel Sheldon, dated September 1893 and designed by himself (R.P.S. Fecit); Sheldon was an English collector, and perhaps the director of Cabrera Mines, Ltd. Spines faded, minor rubbing to extremities, bookmarkers detached and loosely inserted in each volume, occasional spot of foxing or small faint mark to contents, otherwise internally clean. A very good set.

First edition thus, and third overall, one of 1,600 unnumbered copies, retaining the scarce jacket. This was Dent's final edition, entirely reset, and enlarged with two drawings (pp. xj and lvj) and one additional chapter heading (p. 530) never before printed. This edition also includes a new foreword by the Scottish newspaper editor Aymer Vallance (1892-1955). First published in two volumes in 1893, Morte Darthur was Beardsley's first major commission and the book that launched what has come to be known as the "Beardsley look" (Gillon, p. IV). In 1892, seeking to emulate the books of the Kelmscott Press, John M. Dent commissioned the 20-year-old Beardsley to produce an edition of Le Morte D'Arthur. The 351 designs appearing in the first edition required 18 months for the artist to complete. Bored with the project, Beardsley at last refused to complete Dent's original commission of 500 drawings. Of this work, John Lewis states: "In Le Morte D'Arthur Beardsley learnt his job, but the result is no bungling student's work. If he had never illustrated another book, this edition of Morte D'Arthur could stand as a monument of decorative book illustration" (Lewis, pp. 148-9). Edmund Vincent Gillon, Illustrations for Le Morte D'Arthur, 1972; John Lewis, The Twentieth Century Book, 1984. Large quarto. Original green cloth over bevelled boards, spine lettered in gilt, spine and front cover stamped in gilt with floral patterns, top edge gilt, largely uncut. With dust jacket. Frontispiece, 21 plates, illustrations in text throughout. Cloth and gilt bright, a few spots of foxing to lower edge; the jacket with minor fading to spine panel, small chip and couple of short tears to edges, overall a remarkably clean and fresh example, unclipped; a near-fine copy in like jacket.

The book was issued in 12 parts in wrappers, with the purchaser given the choice of sending it back to the publisher, who bound them in vellum or cloth, or to a binder of their own. In 1892, seeking to emulate the books of the Kelmscott Press, John M. Dent commissioned the 20-year-old Beardsley to produce this edition, work that took the young artist 18 months to complete. "In Le Morte d'Arthur Beardsley learnt his job, but the result is no bungling student's work. If he had never illustrated another book, this edition of Morte d'Arthur could stand as a monument of decorative book illustration" (Lewis, pp. 148-9). The work was first published in 12 monthly magazine instalments between June 1893, and mid-1894. "Aubrey Beardsley's Morte Darthur was one of the most original and certainly one of the most controversial of the nineteenth-century artistic reinterpretations of Malory" which "established Beardsley as the voice of the 1890s" (Tepa Lupack, Chapter 4). "Often shockingly overt in their sexuality and eroticism, the illustrations rejected the aesthetic of the Pre-Raphaelites who were Beardsley's original mentors and offered a revisionist and parodic treatment of their medievalism.
