Pre-Raphaelites are on the wall!

As I mentioned earlier, I am rereading now 3 books related to the Pre-Raphaelites, My Grandmothers and I, Pre-Raphaelites in Love & My Grandfather: His life and loves.

I found a plate in one of them which I, shockingly, took out of a book eons ago.  It was of Georgiana McDonald who married Burne-Jones.  I knew I had more and wondered where they had got to.  Long story short I was looking in a book on papermaking and found them.   It was time to get them into frames and up in my craft room.  Here they are:

L to R:  Burne-Jones, Georgiana at 16 yrs of age, Burne-Jones in later years
              William Morris, Holman-Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti
