Beresford Egan (1905 - 1984) was a South African-born illustrator and graphic artist. He left South Africa for England in July of 1926, and quickly established himself in the artistic and literary atmosphere of London working for various small presses such as Mandrake Press. Egan's illustrations appeared in an edition of Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal (1929). He also illustrated several works of the French writer Pierre Louÿs.
