[BEARDSLEY, Aubrey (1872-1988), illustrator]. LUDLOW, Fitz Hugh (1836-1870). The Hasheesh Eater. New York: S.G. Rains Co., 1903. 8vo. [xiv +], 16-371pp. Illustrated with pirated artwork by Aubrey Beardsley to frontispiece and title page. Green cloth stamped black and gilt. 1903 REPRINT of Ludlow's classic text, illustrated with bootlegged artwork by Aubrey Beardsley: the frontispiece is a doctored version of Beardsley's "Of a Neophyte and how the Black Art was revealed unto him by the Fiend Asomuel"; the title page is a manipulated version of "The Kiss of Judas." 

Light rubbing and staining to boards; wear to extremities. Minor spotting and thumbsoiling; marginal tears at ppxii and xxiii. Ink ownership signature to pastedown, title page, pp15, and top edge of textblock. Very good.
