Beaton provided five drawings for Phillis Duveen's translation of Pierre Louÿs' 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 Louÿs' 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.
