The front cover of the prospectus for 'The Yellow Book', designed by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley in 1894, is a significant piece of graphic art from the Aesthetic Movement and the Decadent movement at the end of the 19th century. 'The Yellow Book' was a British quarterly literary periodical that was published in London from 1894 to 1897, and it became associated with the development of 1890s cultural and artistic movements. Beardsley's cover design is emblematic of his distinctive black and white illustrations, which were characterized by their sinuous lines, erotic undertones, and stylized figures.

Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898) was an English illustrator and author whose work was synonymous with the grotesque, the erotic, and the decadent. His contribution to 'The Yellow Book', particularly the cover design, was pivotal in establishing the visual identity of the publication. The cover of the prospectus showcased Beardsley's unique style, which combined influences from Japanese woodcuts, the Arts and Crafts movement, and his own imaginative flair. The design featured a woman seen in profile, an image that has been interpreted as both a muse of the Aesthetic Movement and a figure of controversy, reflecting the provocative nature of the publication itself.

'The Yellow Book' became a symbol of avant-garde thought and art, with Beardsley's work at the forefront. His illustrations for the prospectus and subsequent editions of the periodical were controversial for their time, often challenging Victorian notions of propriety and taste. The front cover of the prospectus for 'The Yellow Book' is not only a representation of Beardsley's artistic vision but also an artifact of the cultural and literary history of the fin de siècle. It remains an important example of the interplay between literature and visual art during a period of rapid social and aesthetic change.
