John Lane and Elkin Mathews published volume one of the The Yellow Book in April 1894. Laurence Housman's pen-and-ink drawing, "The Reflected Faun," was one of the artworks selected by art editor Aubrey Beardsley for reproduction in the new magazine. In their reviews, critics called attention to Housman's Pre-Raphaelite-inspired style. The St James Gazette commented that "The Reflected Faun" showed Rossetti's influence. P. G. Hamerton's review in the second volume of The Yellow Book (July 1894) noted that Housman's drawing technique "was founded on early wood-engraving, which filled the whole space with decorative work, even to the four corners" (https://1890s.ca/YBV2_hamerton_yellow/). Rossetti's influence became even more evident when Green Arras, Housman's first collection of poetry, was published in 1896. Like Rossetti before him, Housman created "double works," developing the same subject matter in the separate media of word and picture. "The Reflected Faun" image published in The Yellow Book should be associated with "The Gazing Faun" poem which later appeared in Green Arras; together, they make a self-reflexive double-work of art.
