I recently made an appointment at the drawing study room of the MMA in New York City. They have three Beardsley works; "Rejane" and two title pages for "La Morte D'Arthur". It was truly amazing to see these in person. There are many erasures and out-of-lines drawing that you can't see in the printed works. Princeton and Harvard have two of the best collections in the U.S., but sadly their collections are off-limits to the public. I'd love to hear about anyone else's experiences seeing Beardsley's work up close. It was a truly amazing day for me, having been an admirer or his work for over 25 years.
