    What are your thoughts on these old Beardsley prints? They came in a pair of old veenered frames. They appear to have once been part of a book.

    from the text it's obvious that the book was printed after the 1960s. last sentence on p.57 "70 years after his death the young generation of the 60s of the 20. c." etc..
    I don't see any added value if you found the exact book.

    This is why I seriously need to improve my German. Bye two euros.

    Not surprised by date. Beardsley had quite a revival in the 1960s. Frames, although don't appear to be of import, look older.

    The frames were what fooled me in the first place :( I only skimmed over the text, decided I wouldn't be able to understand it, then bought them anyway. Because of the frames.

    why to improve your German ? as long as you can do your daily shopping and don't need to go to bed hungry, it's okay.:)
