It's all about France Graham for this week's Here a stunning portrait (sold at Christies, 1995) & an casket with angels & initials (1877) which Burne-Jones designed for her. Andrew Gailey's new book 'Portrait of a Muse' will be reviewed in the PRS journal next year.

The theme of this panel, possibly a fireplace overmantel, may be the legend of the Garden of the Hesperides, a subject Burne-Jones treated on several other occasions.
