This is the official publishers set of 3 bound volumes comprising all 8 issues of this noted Art Nouveau literary and art periodical and which was produced at the end of the run. Bound in blue cloth with gilt decorations after Beardsley. The Beardsley Christmas card (see Plate 4) which is often missing is tipped in at the end of the first issue. There are multiple Beardsley illustrations and important literary contributions by the editor, G.
