een on white, for a prospectus, republished in "Early Work." The same, enlarged and printed in black on light green, for a poster. THE STUDIO, NO. I, April 1893, accompanying an article entitled "A New Illustrator: Aubrey Beardsley," by Joseph Pennell, contained:---- II. Reduced reproduction of the pen-and-ink replica of Jeanne d'Arc procession. Republished as large folding supplement in No. 2. III. Siegfried, Act II., from the original drawing in line and wash, signed A.V.B., presented by the artist to Sir Edward Burne-Jones, after whose death it was given back by Lady Burne-Jones, to the artist's mother, Mrs Beardsley. Republished in "Early Work." IV. The Birthday of Madame Cigale, line and wash, 15 inches long by 9-1/2 inches high, influenced by Japanese models. Reproduced in "Early Work." (Property of Charles Holme, Esq.) V. Les Revenants de Musique, line and wash. Reproduced in "Early Work." (Property of Charles Holme, Esq.) VI. Salome with the head of St John the Baptist. Upright panel in Chinese ink on white, 10-1/8 by 5-1/8 inches, exclusive of framing lines. This was the first design suggested to the artist by Oscar Wilde's French play of "Salome." It differs from the later version of the same subject in being richer and more complex. It contains the legend, omitted in the later version, _j'ai baise ta bouche Iokanaan, j'ai baise ta bouche_. The treatment is obviously influenced by Japanese work, and also by that of the French Symboliste school, _e.g._ Carlos Schwabe. Republished in "Early Work." Subsequently to its appearance in _The Studio_, the artist experimentally tinted it with green colour washes. In its final state it has not been published. (Formerly the property of Mrs Ernest Leverson, now of Miss K. Doulton.) VII. Reduced reproduction of the second version of the Jeanne d'Arc procession. The same appeared, full size, as a folding plate supplement, in No. 2 of _The Studio_, May 1893. In the first number of _The Studio_ (April) also were published, by anticipation, four designs from the "Morte Darthur," due to begin its serial appearance in the following June, viz.:-- VIII. Initial letter I. IX. Merlin taketh the child Arthur into his keeping (full page,
