Busch, biography of Von Bayros by Johann Pilz, two essays by Von Bayros; 292 duotone illustrations, drawings, and bookplates by Marquis Franz von Bayros; Part I and II in one volume. Biographical Information: "The Marquis Franz Von Bayros (1866-1924), the Austrian artist, painter and illustrator, was best known for his controversial Tales at the Dressing Table, a book considered so dangerous to the morality of the time that Von Bayros was arrested and forced into exile. He belonged to the Decadent movement in art, often utilizing erotic themes and phantasmagoric imagery. He was obliged to move from one European capital to another as each outrageous new work was banned by the authorities. Von Bayros's art is striking in its stark eroticism and wry wit and he is noted for his lurid illustrations of such classic forbidden books as Boccaccio's Decameron."
