According to Stephen Calloway in his book, Aubrey  Beardsley, London: V&A Publications, 1998, p. 77 and p. 80: 'In the event, Beardsley  supplied in place of this drawing a second, yet more daringly abstracted toilet scene in  which a bald pierrot of a barber, dressed in eighteenth-century ruffles, coifs a distinctly  modern Salome, who sits, again, by a Godwin dressing-table. On a shelf he  mischievously included a number [of] books, the revealing titles of which were quite  legible; this little decadent library comprised Manon Lescaut , and Les Fêtes galantes ,  the slightly more risqué Golden Ass  and two volumes yet more scandalous according to  the mores of the day: Zola's Nana  and one simply lettered Marquis de Sade . In the  same way, after much discussion at the Bodley Head and a great many hurried  consultations and letters and telegrams back and forth between Wilde and Lane,  Beardsley eventually submitted to criticism in two further cases, and agreed to add  extra designs to the set, including another wholly 'modern' image, The Black Cape . As  he wrote to Ross, 'I suppose you've heard all about the Salomé  row. I can tell you I  had a warm time of it between Lane, Oscar and Co. For one week the numbers of  telegraph and messenger boys who came to the door was simply scandalous ... I have  withdrawn three of the illustrations and supplied their places with three new ones  (simply beautiful and quite irrelevant)'.'
