Alastair, pseudonym for Hans Henning Voight (1887-1969), specialised in illustrating the plays, novels and short stories of his favourite period, the 1890s. His most celebrated author was Oscar Wilde, but he also illustrated the classic 18th century erotic novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos, that became an award winning film in the 1990s featuring Michelle Pfeiffer and John Malkovich. Although Alastair's style of drawing bears a marked resemblance to Beardsley's, it remains unmistakably original and personal. 96 illustrations, 4 in colour. 100 pages.
