EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mrs Patrick Campbell, a renowned actress of the 19th century. Created by the talented artist Aubrey Beardsley, this image was originally published in "The Yellow Book" in 1894. At first glance, it appears to be a harmless caricature, but its cleverness caused quite a stir during its time. Mrs Patrick Campbell was idolized by audiences for her mesmerizing performances, particularly in Arthur Wing Pinero's play "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray". This portrait perfectly encapsulates her allure and charisma as she stands confidently in full length. The art nouveau style adds an elegant touch to the illustration, showcasing Beardsley's mastery of graphic design. Despite its artistic brilliance, this depiction faced severe criticism upon its release. It received an unexpected backlash from some quarters who expressed their disapproval with great vehemence. However, over time, this controversial piece has come to be recognized as one of Beardsley's best works. Today, this print serves as a testament to both Mrs Patrick Campbell's talent and Aubrey Beardsley's artistic vision. Preserved within the pages of "The Best of Beardsley", edited by R. A Walker and published by The Bodley Head in London in 1948, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
