The New Star, 1895-1896. Creator: Aubrey Beardsley

The New Star, 1895-1896. A sudden star, it shot through liquid air; And drew behind a radiant trail of hair'. Illustration for "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope, published privately by Leonard Smithers in 1896. Rape in this context refers not to sexual violence but to the theft and carrying away of a lock of hair, from the Latin rapere: to snatch, to grab, to carry off. From "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A. Walker, [The Bodley Head, London, 1948]
