Flippant Victorians parodied his name as Weirdsley Daubery or Awfly Weirdly. For the art of Aubrey Vincent Beardsley, whose sinuous draftsmanship fluttered through the pages of the 1890s farthest-out books, was the scandalous titillation of his day. He seemed to have dipped his pen in laudanum and night shade; his dark silhouettes fairly rippled with overtressed vixens, leering harle quins and glinting grotesques...
