Ten inserted color plates on black paper.<br/><br/>When Salomé was first published in February 1893 the Pall Mall Budget magazine asked Beardsley for a drawing in response. They rejected the macabre fantastic image he based around the play's last scene in which Salomé embraces the severed head of John the Baptist. J'ai Baisé Ta Bouche Iokanaan. Here it is redrawn as the Climax without the text. In April however an art publication The Studio ran it as part of its first edition. Wilde saw the drawing pre- publication and liked it; in March he inscribed a copy of the earlier printing of the book "March '93. For Aubrey. For the only artist who besides myself knows what the Dance of the Seven Veils is and can see that invisible dance."<br/><br/>Illustrator Aubrey Vincent Beardsley 21 August 1872 - 16 March 1898 was an English artist and author. At the age of nineteen he achieved notable and lasting acclaim for his illustrations in the Dent edition of Malory's Le Morte Darthur in 1892. He was a leading figure in the Aesthetic movement which also included Oscar Wilde and James A. McNeill Whistler. In 1894 Beardsley became the art editor of The Yellow Book under the general editorship of Oscar Wilde but with his advancing tuberculosis and Wilde's arrest - that put an end to that satirical periodical. His drawings in black ink influenced by the style of Japanese woodcuts emphasized the grotesque the decadent and the erotic. Although in increasingly poor health Beardsley continued to produce illustrations including those in The Savoy The Rape of the Lock and The Lysistrata. Aubrey Beardsley died from tuberculosis at the very young age of 25 on the 16th March 1898.<br/><br/>Illustrator André Derain 1880-1954 was a French artist painter sculptor and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse.

An English version came about in 1894 but not before a tiff over the translation work done by Lord Alfred Douglas who was Wilde's paramour at the time. This 1920 reprint retains the iconic artwork by Aubrey Beardsley and all sixteen original illustrations are listed in the index; however the plate with illustration 4 "The Woman in the Moon" is presumed missing with evidence of its loss between pgs. 6 and 7.
