Another Internet Archive discovery, this is a scanned copy of one of Austin Spare’s first illustrated works. Behind the Veil<\/em><\/a> was a small book of mystical fiction by Ethel Rolt Wheeler, published in 1906. Spare was only 20 at the time and the drawings, while accomplished, lack the finesse of his later work. They also owe a lot more to Beardsley’s style than his later drawing (with some figurative nods to Michelangelo, perhaps) which isn’t so surprising given that Beardsley’s influence, eight years after his death, was still considerable.<\/p>\n

Also in the archives are two more Spare commissions of lesser interest: Twelve Poems<\/em><\/a> (1916) and The Gold Tree<\/em><\/a> (1917), both by JC Squire.<\/p>\n
