Beardsley was the first editor of 'The Yellow Book', published 1894-1897, a quarterly publication that became a defining feature of the Aesthetic Movement. It was this, however, that ultimately led to his downfall. When Oscar Wilde was arrested for gross indecency in 1895, he was said to be carrying a copy of the Yellow Book. Because of this and the obvious association of the two men after the Salomé illustrations, Beardsley was dismissed from his role.
