WEINTRAUB, Stanley [ed.] The Savoy: Nineties Experiment. University Park, Pennsylvania and London: Pennsylvania State University. 1966. 4to. First edition. Publisher’s quarter cream cloth over pictorial green boards in matching dust jacket with a design by Aubrey Beardsley. An exceptional copy, fine in like unclipped dust jacket without issue.
A splendid volume celebrating the eight-issue life of The Savoy, published from January to December of 1896 to rival the iconic The Yellow Book, and contrived on account of the dismissal of Aubrey Beardsley at the latter periodical. Its monthly issue seemed to signify a doomed-from-the-off feel, yet its modest output has in so doing immortalised it within the Decadent period.
