A Linenbacked Art Print (measures 27 1/4" x 39" [69 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) Aubrey Beardsley was an English illustrator and author from the 1890s. His drawings, influenced by the style of Japanese woodcuts, emphasized the grotesque, the decadent, and the erotic. He was a leading figure in the Aesthetic movement, which also included Oscar Wilde and James A. McNeill Whistler. Beardsley's contribution to the development of the Art Nouveau and poster styles was significant, despite the brevity of his career before his early death from tuberculosis, in 1898 at the age of 25. His work was "rediscovered" in the early 1960s, and he influenced the early "underground" cartoonists, and art prints of his work were sold in large numbers in the 1960s and 1970s. Artist: Aubrey Beardsley Important Added Info: Note that this poster is undated, but we would guess that it is from the 1960s, or possibly earlier, but we would highly doubt that it is from a later date. It shows one of Beardsley's more famous works, called "John the Baptizer and Salome". What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some faint staining in small parts of the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
