EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Aubrey Beardsley, we are transported to the world of Molière's "Don Juan". The illustration, originally published in The Savoy No. 8 in 1896, beautifully captures the essence of the characters and their interactions. The central figures of Don Juan, Sganarelle, and the Beggar take center stage. Don Juan stands tall and confident, his elegant clothing emphasizing his aristocratic status. Sganarelle, his loyal servant, appears slightly disheveled but ever faithful to his master. Meanwhile, the beggar is depicted with bare feet and tattered garments that reflect her destitute state. Beardsley's graphic design skills shine through as he expertly portrays each character's unique personality through their gestures and expressions. The beggar extends a hand towards Don Juan with a pleading gesture while Sganarelle looks on with concern etched across his face. This art nouveau masterpiece not only captures a moment from Molière's play but also embodies the decadent movement prevalent during the late 19th century. Beardsley's intricate attention to detail brings life to these literary characters while showcasing his own artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this print from "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A Walker in 1948 for The Bodley Head publication, we are reminded of both Beardsley's contribution to British literature and art history as well as Molière's enduring legacy.
