"Illustration for 'The Yellow Book'" refers to the body of work created by English illustrator Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898) for the British literary quarterly "The Yellow Book." Beardsley served as the art editor for the first four volumes of the publication, which ran from 1894 to 1897. His illustrations were a defining feature of "The Yellow Book," contributing to its reputation as a symbol of the Aesthetic Movement and Decadence in the 1890s.

Beardsley's work for "The Yellow Book" is characterized by its black and white ink drawings, which exhibit his distinctive style of sinuous lines, erotic and grotesque imagery, and a combination of the whimsical and the macabre. His illustrations often challenged Victorian sensibilities with their subversive and satirical nature, reflecting the artist's fascination with the morbid and the sensual. Beardsley's contributions to "The Yellow Book" were instrumental in his rise to prominence as one of the most controversial and influential artists of his time.

The publication of "The Yellow Book" coincided with the rise of the Art Nouveau movement, and Beardsley's illustrations were considered avant-garde for their departure from the traditional Victorian aesthetic. His work was both praised and criticized for its boldness and its challenge to the artistic norms of the period.

Beardsley's tenure with "The Yellow Book" ended abruptly after the arrest of his friend and fellow writer Oscar Wilde, as the public associated the magazine with the scandal due to Beardsley's controversial art and Wilde's notoriety. Despite his brief period as art editor, Beardsley's illustrations for "The Yellow Book" remain a significant part of his artistic legacy and continue to be studied for their innovative style and their impact on the visual arts of the late 19th century.
