Lasner 113; Warrack and Perkins 82: "Beardsley had been promising Pollitt a bookplate for some time. When this drawing was published in A Book of Fifty Drawings in 1897 conscience may have got the better of the artist and in Pollitt's copy of the edition de luxe Beardsley added the lettering in india ink on the reproduction. From this Pollitt had a new block made (by Carl Henschel) for his own use." Herbert Charles Pollitt was a collector, amateur thespian, correspondent of Wilde, and patron of Beardsley and Whistler.
