		Beardsley was born on August 21, 1872 in Brighton, England into a genteel family, but one rendered nearly destitute by the incompetence of his businessman father.

	Aubrey Beardsley: Dandy of the Grotesque
		Aubrey Beardsley, often cited as the “dominating artistic personality” and “the one ‘genius’” of the 1890s, has long been acknowledged by scholars as “the mentality most representative” of the period known as the Victorian Decadence.
