This Illustration has been pulled from my unorganised ‘inpsiration’ pile of clippings/photocopies I’ve been collecting since University. Alas I’m not sure of the Tiltle or the Artist, though the wonderful detailing is similar in style to the work of Aubrey Beardsley and I’m guessing from the same era.

If you’ve decided to read this blog from start to finish, I warn you that the initial quality of writing is somewhat less than I’d like to think it is now! And therefore may include gratuitous swearing, I’ll informed observations and F*ck all research – still there’s plenty of nice imagery I think!
Just came across this blog. Really enjoying it a lot. Thank you for the great amount of posts to go through.
Pretty sure this image is from Jessie M. King. I thought from her Grail book, but I couldn’t find this specific image.

Hi Paul, thanks for pointing this out – I wasn’t aware of Jessie or her work before so that’s great – many thanks, I’ll do some more research on her…. thanks for the comments RE the blog too
