Black Coffee, 1895. Creator: Aubrey Beardsley
Black Coffee, 1895. A rare depiction of same-sex relationships; two women at a cafe table, one has her hand in the others lap. The hairstyle of the woman on the left resembles devils horns, hinting at the womens sinful behaviour. Illustration intended for " The Yellow Book", Vol. V, but withdrawn, along with other plates, when publisher John Lane dispensed with Beardleys services as art editor of the magazine in the wake of the Oscar Wilde scandal. From " The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A. Walker, [The Bodley Head, London, 1948]
