Cupid and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses. ...
Fred Millar 58.09[?] R. A. Bell . Robert Anning Bell. Fred Millar se et Imp. No. 11
[n.d.]
Mezzotint Printed in colours on india paper, 270 x 395mm (10½ x 15½"), with wide margins. Small tear in right margin. Light stain in upper left corner. Toning.
A scene depicting Cupid and a young mistress, or Campaspe, playing cards surrounded by four other young women. Campaspe was the supposed lover of Alexander the Great; her name became a generic synonym for a man's young mistress in poetry and this meaning was popularised in John Lyly's (1553-1606) poem 'Cupid and my Campaspe play'd. At cards for kisses'. He also wrote a play titled 'Campaspe' (1584).
