Originally used to advertise a line of children’s books, here Beardsley’s design announces the January 1895 issue of The Yellow Book. Brian Reade notes: “Such winged chairs were known as grandfather’s chairs, and Beardsley may have intended to represent a grandmother sitting in an appropriate chair and reading to her grandchildren from one of the books. . . . The gown with its leg-of-mutton sleeves is of the Nineties, but the feather is in the mode of the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Instead of age and maturity therefore Beardsley has formulated a disturbing sensuality in the features of the woman. This was the kind of negligent irony which repelled so many of his own generation” (Beardsley, p. 343).
