The Yellow Book. An Illustrated Quartely. Volumes I-XIII. London, John Lane (Volumes I und II auch Elkin Mathew) April 1894 - April 1897. Gelbe Originalleinenbände mit Deckelillustrationen und Titeln in Schwarzdruck.Vollständige Folge aller erschienenen Bände der für den britischen Ästhetizismus wichtigen Zeitschrift. - Druck auf der Ballantyne Press, London. - Bis zur Trennung von dem stilbildenden Aubrey Beardsley, der auch die Einbandillustrationen der ersten vier Bände schuf, war die Zeitschrift wegen ihrer erotisch-freizügigen Inhalte gleichermaßen kritisiert wie nachgefragt; andauernde Skandale bescherten Verleger und Künstler zunehmende Publicity. Im Zusammenhang mit der Verhaftung Oscar Wildes wegen Unzucht kam es zu Ausschreitungen vor dem Verlag und John Lane sah sich gezwungen, sich von Beardsley zu trennen. Der Erfolg der Zeitschrift ließ nach, 1897 wurde sie eingestellt. Beardsley gab in Nachfolge »The Savoy« heraus, auf deren erstem Titelblatt ein Cherub auf »The Yellow Book« uriniert. - Der Titel geht auf das »Yellow Book« in Oscar Wildes »Bildnis des Dorian Gray« zurück. Das Gelb der Einbände hatte sicher eine ähnlich elektrisierende Wirkung auf Leser und Kritiker wie das Rot der »Fackel« von Karl Kraus, die wenige Jahre später Wien in ihren Bann zog. - Die Textbeiträge stammen von Max Beerbohm, Henry James, aber auch von jungen Autoren wie Arnold Bennett, Charlotte Mew und Maurice Baring. - Neben Aubrey Beardsley waren Künstler wie Walter Sickert, Patton Wilson und Walter Crane als Illustratoren beteiligt. - Weitestgehend gut erhaltene Reihe.20,7 : 16,0 cm. Je etwa 260 Seiten und zahlreiche Tafeln. - Rücken von Band I stärker verfärbt und mit kleiner Fehlstelle, bei Band XIII kleiner Einriss.

§ CHARLES OPPENHEIMER R.S.A., R.S.W. (BRITISH 1876-1961) IN THE EVENING LIGHT Signed, oil on canvas(63.5cm x 76cm (25in x 30in))Note: For a very similar but larger composition see My Garden at Twilight, property of the National Trust for Scotland, Broughton House, Kirkcudbright. Charles Oppenheimer is regarded as a quintessentially Scottish artist, although he was born in Oldham and did not settle north of the border until 1908. Oppenheimer trained under Walter Crane at Manchester School of Art, as well as in Italy. He was instinctively drawn to Scotland, although more to the lowlands and the pastoral landscapes of Kirkcudbrightshire, than to the rugged Highlands. Famously his paintings often depict the same view at different times of year. He was a keen fisherman and had a talent for capturing the fall of light on water. He painted landscapes and townscapes, and also designed a number of iconic posters for British Rail. Oppenheimer was elected RSW in 1912, ARSA in 1927 and RSA in 1934. The picture offered here is a view of Oppenheimer's house at 14 High Street, Kirkcudbright, where he lived between 1908 and 1931. He rented the house from E.A. Hornel, who lived next door in Broughton House (now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland). By the time that Oppenheimer settled there, Kirkcudbright had long been a centre of artistic activity. Artists had been drawn there since the 1880s, and by 1900 the little town was attracting artists from Glasgow and Edinburgh including E.A. Walton, A.S. Hartrick, James Lawton Wingate, David Gauld and D.Y. Cameron. Oppenheimer moved there in 1908, and, having served with the Royal Artillery during the Great War, returned to Kirkcudbright at its close, finding many new friends. Among them were the book illustrator Jessie M. King and her husband, E.A. Taylor who, having lived in Kirkcudbright before the war, had returned there in 1915. From 1929 the crime writer Dorothy L. Sayers and her husband also rented a studio in The High Street, next door to Oppenheimer, and became good friends. Oppenheimer painted several similar views of his home at number 14. One now hangs in Oldham Art Gallery and another in Broughton House itself. While the Broughton picture shows the house at twilight with the evening sun reflecting off the windows, that in Oldham shows the same scene on a bright, sunny day in which the whitewashed walls seem to belong more to the Midi than to Kirkcudbright.

Morris had commissioned Walter Crane to illustrate his tale, as the first book to be issued by the press, but Morris got impatient with Crane's delays and eventually issued the book in 1891 without illustrations and just his own initials and ornaments. In 1894 he printed it again, this time with Crane's illustrations, although Morris was not happy with Crane's work and considered this his poorest Kelmscott production.
