 LATER WORK

DOVER PUBLICATIONS, INC., NEW YORK

 4

This Dover edition, first published in 1967, is an unabridged republication

of the revised 1930 edition of the work originally published by John Lane,
The Bodley Head. The present edition differs in the following respects:

Two of the four plates printed in color in earlier editions (there was no
color in the 1930) are reproduced here in color, in addition to their black-
and-white reproductions in the 1930 numerical sequence. The other two
plates, Nos. 75 and 76 of the present volume, were originally printed in

green ink.

The frontispiece and title-page frame of the original editions now appear in

their proper numerical sequence as Plates i and 2.

The reproductions in this volume have been made from the best available
editions or collections of Beardsley's work.

A /Y warmest thanks are due to Mr. Frederick H. Evans
^^ ^ for his assistance in tracing several drawings, the

existence of which was unknown to me ; also to the possessors

of originals, whose name I give beneath each plate, by

whose courtesy I have been enabled to reproduce many
hitherto unpublished specimens of Beardsley's work.
There has been considerable rearrangement of the plates.

Many that originally appeared in the " Early Work " are now
transferred to this volume, and conversely, in order to

preserve a proper chronological sequence.

ART ANATOMY, Dr. William Rimmer. One of the few books

on art anatomy that are themselves works of art, this is a faith-
ful reproduction (rearranged for handy use) of the extremely
rare masterpiece of the famous 19th century anatomist, sculptor,
and art teacher. Beautiful, clear line drawings show every part
of the body — bony structure, muscles, features, etc. Unusual
are the sections on falling bodies, foreshortenings, muscles in
tension, grotesque personalities, and Rimmer's remarkable inter-
pretation of emotions and personalities as expressed by facial
features. It will supplement every other book on art anatomy
you are likely to have. Reproduced clearer than the lithographic
original (which sells for $500 on up on the rare book market.)
Over 1,200 illustrations, xiii + 153pp.*7yj. x IO34.
