專家說明

The illustrator, Aubrey Beardsley, was a frequent visitor to Frederick H. Evans' bookshop on Queen Street, Cheapside, London. Eventually the two artists would become friends, leading to the sitting for this double portrait. In the monograph, Frederick Evans, Beaumont Newhall mentions the sitting and a friend of the two who remembered that Evans 'spent...hours wandering around the gaunt youth, wondering what on earth to do with him, when Beardsley, getting tired, relaxed and took the pose which Evans immediately seized' (The Photographic Journal, February, 1945, p. 36). Later the same year as these portraits, Beardsley wrote to Evans 'I think the photos are splendid; couldn't be better. I am looking forward to getting my copies'.
