I think the title page I drew for Salomé was after all "impossible". You see booksellers couldn't stick it up in their windows. - Aubrey Beardsley

The poster first of all justified its existence on the grounds of utility, and should it further aspire to beauty of line and colour, may not our hoardings claim kinship with the galleries, and the designers of affiches pose proudly in the public eye as the masters of Holland Road or Bond Street Barbizon (and, recollect, no gate money, no catalogue)?

There was a young man with a salary, Who had to do drawings for Malory; When they asked him for more, He replied, 'Why? Sure </br>You've enough as it is for a gallery.'

The only place in London where one can forget that it is Sunday.
