Summary

Description
English: Antique engraving 7.1/2 x 6 inches Engraved by Charles Knight

Drawn by Gardner after Sir Peter Lely Published by Cadel l & Davis 1807

Miss Arabella Fermor was the daughter of Henry Fermor Esq. of Tusmore in Oxfordshire. The fame of her beauty and her charms, as celebrated both by poets and painters, has come down to posterity, for she was the belle of London society in the early years of the 18th century. Alexander Pope wrote his poem, Rape of the Lock, about a scandalous incident between her and Lord Petre, much to Arabella’s dismay.
