Beaton provided five drawings for Phillis Duveen's translation of Pierre Lou˙s' The Twilight of the Nymphs. The original text, Le Crépuscule des Nymphes, had been published in 1925. In his Photobiography, Beaton writes, 'Another [friend] was translating Pierre Louys, and would I care to do photographic illustrations? The publishers were an unknown firm [The Fortune Press] and could not afford to pay much. But what about £25 for six? I became very busy on Saturdays and Sundays.' The photographic illustrations became drawings and the final total is five, rather than six. Beaton provided graphic illustrations to Lou˙s' classical tales on Leda, Ariadne, The House on the Nile, Byblis and Danaë. Although reproduced here in black-and-white, the drawings appear to have been originally created in bright colour. They are Beaton's first published illustrations within a book.
