A long-haired figure sits in profile in a nearly empty room, frowning, one lace-cuffed hand resting on a knee. A white cloak with a black collar and a trailing black ribbon falls from the shoulders and pools across the floor. At left a plain curtain hangs to the ground; a heavy black band crosses the upper wall and another fills the floor below. The drawing, framed by double ruled lines, was made for an edition of Edgar Allan Poe's tales.
The original: pen, brush and India ink over graphite, 1894, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898) was an English illustrator, born in Brighton. Working as a clerk, he was encouraged by Edward Burne-Jones and took a few months of evening classes at the Westminster School of Art, his only formal training. In 1893 he began illustrating Malory's Le Morte Darthur, in 1894 he became art editor of The Yellow Book, and his drawings for Oscar Wilde's Salomé (1894) made him notorious. His black ink drawings drew on Japanese woodcuts and the curving line of Art Nouveau. After the Wilde scandal of 1895 he moved to The Savoy. He died of tuberculosis at 25. His drawings are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The print is colorful and pleasing to the eye. The paper is of high quality with good thickness that is great for display by itself or in a frame. A good price for the quality! Thank you!

9 Art Prints was founded by author Arif Anwar around two simple ideas: that great art should reach far beyond the familiar Western canon, and that fine art reproductions should be made with exceptional materials.
So we seek out remarkable artists and traditions from around the world, then reproduce them using carefully sourced images, archival giclée printing, and fine art papers from Hahnemühle.
NO VAGUE “MUSEUM QUALITY” CLAIMS. JUST THE SPECIFICATIONS.
FAQ
Fine-art quality should be something you can verify.
Here is exactly what goes into a 9 Art Prints reproduction.
What makes a 9 Art Prints reproduction different?
A lot of art-print sellers describe their work as “museum quality”
without telling you what that actually means. We prefer specifications.
Our fine-art reproductions are produced using professional giclée printing
on genuine Hahnemühle fine-art papers, selected to suit the artwork.
We work from high-resolution source material and prepare each image
specifically for print, with close attention to colour, detail and tonal range.
What paper do you use?
Our principal fine-art papers include
Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm and
Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm.
German Etching has a substantial, lightly textured surface that works
exceptionally well for paintings and richly coloured works. Photo Rag
has a smoother cotton surface suited to graphic, modernist and highly
detailed imagery.
Paper is selected according to the character of the artwork rather than
using one generic stock for everything. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper.
What does “giclée” actually mean?
Giclée is a professional fine-art printing process using archival pigment
inks and high-resolution inkjet technology. Unlike inexpensive poster
printing, it is designed to reproduce subtle colour gradations, fine detail
and tonal depth.
It is a reproduction method widely used by artists, photographers,
galleries and professional fine-art printers.
So is this really “museum quality”?
We would rather tell you what we use and let you decide.
Genuine Hahnemühle fine-art paper, professional giclée printing,
archival pigment inks and carefully prepared high-resolution artwork
are measurable things.
“Museum quality” by itself is not.
Will large prints still look sharp?
Large-format reproduction depends heavily on the quality of the underlying
artwork file. We source the highest-resolution material available and
prepare each image for print rather than simply enlarging a small internet image.
That is especially important with historic paintings, posters and archival
works where source quality varies considerably.
Are these just posters?
No. A poster can be printed cheaply on lightweight commercial paper.
Our fine-art editions are intended as permanent pieces of wall art,
produced on heavyweight fine-art substrates with professional printing methods.
For graphic or poster artwork, the image may be a historic poster;
the object you receive is still a fine-art reproduction.
What about your framed prints?
Our framed pieces use solid-wood frames, handmade to order, with low-reflection glazing. There is no mount: the print fills the frame. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper.
The goal is the same as with the print itself: use materials appropriate
for a piece you intend to keep.
Will the colours look exactly like my screen?
Screens emit light; paper reflects it, so no physical print can be identical
to every monitor or phone display. We prepare our artwork specifically for
print and aim for accurate colour, contrast and tonal reproduction.
The texture and surface of fine-art paper also give the finished piece
a physical depth that cannot be shown completely on a screen.
“I am not just impressed; I'm blown away by the quality and overall experience. The wood grain in the frame is beautiful and the print quality is superb.”
