All these Volpone designs were reproduced in "Later Work." Drawn at the close of 1897 and early part of 1898, they constitute the latest designs produced by Aubrey Beardsley before his death. In his published List, Mr A. E. Gallatin mentions several sketches and other drawings in private letters which, for lack of detailed information, I have not included in my List. Many of Aubrey Beardsley's drawings are constantly changing hands. In each case the name of the last known owner is given. Where no owner's name appears, no information has been obtainable. Some of the finest drawings, I am informed upon good authority, have now passed into the collection of Herr Waerdofer of Vienna. I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to the artist's mother and sister, to Mr G. R. Halkett, Mr H. C. Marillier, Mr H. A. Payne, and Mr Pickford Wal
