Peacock Magic

Stumbled upon these amazing illustrations for the first edition of Oscar Wilde's french
biblical play "Salomé" (1891). Peacocks are just so magical...

             
Very first cover sketch (left) and illustration by Aubrey Beardsley for Salomé by

Peacock feather collection (remember how beautifully Meisel pictured this dress for

the ad campaign?)
