The quintessential literary digest of the late 19th, many with Beardsley’s erotic touch. Great stuff.

I browsed through volume one. What a list of contributors.

Absolutely - it’s wonderful stuff. I wish I had more time today to write a little about it.

Good choice.

In Hong Kong a yellow sign indicates a ‘hotel’ is upstairs where you can call for prostitutes. Probably not related, but I thought I should mention it.

Ha, I’ve got to say tho.. The Edinburgh Review was the most stylish 19th century literary periodical…

I would say that, tho. It was founded by my ancestor.
