- AMETHYST's appearance marked the entry of its founder, the author Franz Blei, into the world of little magazines and provided a forerunner of the underground press of our own times. Sold to subscribers only, AMETHYST was a statement of the erotic in art and literature. Lavish supplements featuring the art of Aubrey Beardsley, Marcus Behmer and others complemented its content of erotic prose taken from Old German, French, Italian, Indian and Turkish texts. Other passages came from the works of Maurice Barrès, Jules Laforgue and Paul Verlaine, in part translated by Franz Blei.
