Inscribed by symons. An inscribed first edition of this anthological homage to the eighteen-nineties, compiled by The Quest for Corvo 'biographer' A.J.A. Symons. The book is spiritedly in the style of The Yellow Book, with the title vignette utilising Beardsley's suppressed 'black coffee' illustration from Ruding's An Evil Motherhood, and the covers bearing the subsequent, approved design from the same.

The inscription reads, 'For Pam: her own copy, with the particular good wishes of the compiler'.

First edition, inscribed presentation copy from the compiler; 8vo; title vignette by Beardsley, minor spotting; publisher's yellow cloth-backed pictorial boards with further design by Beardsley, a little rubbed and scuffed.
