The Studio, Vol 1, No 1, April 1893

The Studio: An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Art was first published in April 1893. It introduced the young illustrator Aubrey Beardsley to the world and quickly became the world’s most successful art magazine

We are pleased to be able to reproduce here the first issue of The Studio, as it was known until the early 1960s, when it was renamed Studio International. It is presented in the format of a digital book, enabling you to read the articles and enjoy the great works and its design exactly as it appeared on publication.

Here is the link to The Studio, Vol 1 No 1 as well as links to the individual articles:
