Book and graphic in the movie


In the movie, I remember seeing a picture, not sure if it was in a book or in the credit...but it was a black and white drawing of Salome the play. I've seen it before outside the movie and I'm pretty sure it's a work of someone. Does anyone know? I'm on the hunt for it :)

I'm pretty sure that the book illustrations at the beginning wedre done by Aubrey Beardsley.

Yes, it is most likely done by Aubrey Beardsley. His style is so distinctive, thet's its most likely you'd remember it. And he was a friend of Oscar Wilde, so when Wilde's "Salome" was published in book form, Beardsley did the illustrations for it.
