Marquis Franz von Bayros, born in Zagreb in 1866, stood out amongst his contemporaries for his enticing, delicate graphic style, suffused with an art nouveau sensibility--bringing to mind Aubrey Beardsley. He drew a series of erotic drawings, depicting worldly beauties in graphic, compromising positions. One of his erotic portfolios, 'Erzahlungen vom Toilettentisch' ('Tales from the Dressing Table'), caused a scandal, went to court and made Von Bayros famous. In 1911, the Munich police persecuted him because of his illustrations and forced him into exile from Germany. His collection of over 2000 illustrations were used in books such as Dante's 'Divina Commedia' and those by Hans Bartsch. His legacy is a glorious collection of lovely, decadent erotic but elegant masterpieces, with attention to every small and beautiful detail, rarely found elsewhere.
