Aubrey Beardsley — the Barge
Illustration in The Rape of the Lock, by Alexander Pope (London, L. Smithers, 1896)
Aubrey Beardsley ( 1872 – 1898) was an English illustrator and author. Beardsley’s contribution to the development of the Art Nouveau and poster styles was significant, despite the brevity of his life. His drawings in black ink, influenced by the style of Japanese woodcuts, emphasized the grotesque, the decadent, and the erotic.
