Hard to pick a favourite among Burne-Jones's works (he died on the night of 16 June 1898, but some sources say it was #OTD, 17th). This one of 1881 is fun: town-bred Lady Lewis, knees drawn up, watches in trepidation as a tiny lizard slithers past her! https://t.co/oD7xxaEzfw

#BurneJones's humorous portrait of his close friend Elizabeth, Lady Lewis, in 1881. An unusual pose: she's drawn herself up into the chair, keeping a wary eye on a tiny lizard! https://t.co/oD7xxaEzfw
#Goodmorning! Spiffing "Back to the Future" cover on latest "Victorian" mag from @thevicsoc ! A jaunty #Victoria doffs her crown in the rocket's control seat boosted by William & Jane Morris, a roaring Gilbert Scott--but who's the solemn one in specs? And Ed VII at the fore!
Such an interesting life--obit @Telegraph of Virginia Surtees, who championed Rossetti & the PreRaphaelites https://t.co/WJLAQ9pP47
