[Beardsley, Aubrey]
[Brighton?]: n.p. [1898?]. Aubrey Beardsley. Wraps. Scarce. Eleven reproductions of illustrations for The Pay of the Pied Piper: A Legend of Hamelin Town, which originally appeared in the program for the Brighton Grammar School Entertainment, at the Dome on Wednesday, December 19, 1888. The illustrations were described as "Original Etchings by A.V. Beardsley, A Present Boy." In addition to providing the illustrations, Beardsley was a member of the cast (see Lasner, 5 and 5a). This set of loose reproductions in brown wraps was from the collection of the Beardsley scholar Rainsforth Armitage Walker. In a manuscript note inserted in his copy, Walker described this as a "special paper re-issue." He says in his note that "I do not recall this mentioned anywhere but in an Evans sale catalogue...in 1919." The illustrations are mounted on brown stiff paper. In near fine condition. Unpaginated. ART/043013. Near Fine in Wraps.

Beddoes, Thomas Lovell; Edmund Gosse, editor
London: Elkin Mathews and John Lane, 1894. Boards. 1 of 25 copies. First edition of the rare large paper copy. Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803-1849) was a British poet, dramatist, and doctor. He was known to be obsessed by death and the macabre, and ultimately committed suicide by poison at the age of forty-five after a desperate period of ill-health and despondency. The letters were written from 1824 to 1849. The last letter was found folded on his chest as he was dying, and in it he says that he is "food for what I am good for - worms." Beddoes's papers were left to Thomas Forbes Kelsall, who in turn left them to Robert Browning in his will. In his preface, Edmund Gosse says that he compiled and edited the letters at the request of Browning. Bound in original cream parchment backed blue boards. Some light soiling and bumping but in very good condition as are the interior pages. 270 pages. LIT/052213.
