The Peacocks Skirt
An original, vintage, poster of The Peacock Skirt, an 1893 illustration by Aubrey Beardsley, published by Big O Posters Inc, in about 1969. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, London-based Big O Posters helped define the new and democratic art medium of the decorative psychedelic poster, that went hand in hand with the music, literature, and film of the time. Beardsley's provocative and somewhat trippy drawings (originally published to illustrate Oscar Wilde's one-act play Salome in 1894), chimed with the mood of the era and were much reproduced during the late 60s. This very large, and beautifully printed, poster came from the collection of a London printer and may have been a proof with larger than normal margins at the right-hand side and base Date: 1969

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster showcases Aubrey Beardsley's iconic illustration, The Peacock Skirt, published by the renowned Big O Posters Inc in 1969. During the 1960s and 70s, London-based Big O Posters played a pivotal role in defining the new and democratic art medium of decorative psychedelic posters, which perfectly complemented the era's music, literature, and film. Beardsley's provocative and somewhat trippy drawings, originally published to illustrate Oscar Wilde's one-act play Salome in 1894, resonated strongly with the mood of the time and were widely reproduced during the late 60s. This large and exquisitely printed poster is a rare find, hailing from the collection of a London printer. With larger than normal margins at the right-hand side and base, it may have been a proof or an artist's proof, making it an even more valuable addition to any art collection. Beardsley's Peacock Skirt artwork, featuring intricate peacock feathers adorning a flowing skirt, continues to captivate audiences with its intricate detail and timeless beauty. This poster is a testament to the enduring influence of Beardsley's work and the transformative power of art during a period of cultural revolution.
