Nice Hair Cut

This post is for your viewing pleasure. While searching for an image for my blog I found a great site with illustrations for Rape of the Lock. Here are a few examples:

Rape of the Lock by Aubrey Beardsley


Rape of the Lock by Louis Du Guernier and Claude Du Bosc


Rape of the Lock by Lady Georgina North

Rape of the Lock by Thomas Stothard


I think it is interesting to see the various artists depictions of the poem. Each picture represents "the rape" but each is unique. I like the Beardsley one best, but then again, I have a fondness for Beardsley's unique style (yes, even the more risque pieces).
