An illustration by Aubrey Beardsley, entitled 'Black Coffee,' originally intended for Volume V. of The Yellow Book was used as frontispiece to this book, though it had no connection whatever with the story. It appeared only in six copies released for review purposes. The second issue has a substitute plate by Beardsley showing what is said to be a portrait of the author seated in a chair.
