Title
Hesterna Rosa
Description
English: This is a scene of depravity with two gamblers throwing dice, accompanied by two women. One of them turns away in shame as her lover tries to kiss her hand. She is the "Yesterday's Rose" of the title. A young girl with a lute, representing innocence, and an ape, the emblem of vice, underline the moral contrast. The verses below the drawing come from a now forgotten play "Philip van Artevelde" (1834) by the Victorian writer Sir Henry Taylor:
“ Quoth tongue of neither maid nor wife
To heart of neither wife nor maid:
"Lead we not here a jolly life
Betwixt the shine and shade?"
Quoth tongue of neither maid nor wife
To heart of neither wife nor maid:
"Thou wag'st, but I am worn with strife,
And feel like flowers that fade." 		”

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1882, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
