Third edition with Beardsley's illustrations, LIMITED ISSUE, one of 1600 unnumbered copies. "Published in Beardsley's twenty-first year, the Morte d'Arthur brought him instant recognition and the artistic leadership of a decade often known as the 'Beardsley Period.'... The Malory drawings are his strongest illustrations," (The Artist and the Book, 16). This edition is the first to include 11 designs by Beardsley that were omitted from the 1893 edition.
