Poems and drawings of Elizabeth Siddal

A collection of poetry and artwork by the English poet and artist's model Elizabeth Siddal. With a self-portrait colour frontispiece of Elizabeth Siddal and 16 plates, 2 of which are colour. Elizabeth Siddal (1829-1862) is most commonly remembered as the principal artist's model of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, drawn extensively by artists such as Hunt, Deverell, Millais and most notably her husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Siddal also was a talented artist in her own right, and a keen poet inspired by the works of Tennyson that she discovered within her youth. This limited edition copy of the poems and artwork by Siddall features a chronology of her life, poetry, and numerous full-page reproductions of her works on thin card
