The Dawning of a New Era






Rossetti


1842 Strawberry Hill, London


Rossetti


1819 Windsor Castle Staircase


I have now started uni (scary!) and the combination of Gothic Revival architecture and a fantastic subject entitled 'Medieval Plague, War and Heresy' has put me in the mood for these kinds of images. So enjoy!


The Gardener's Daughter, 1867, Julia Margaret Cameron

  1. these are beautiful. Wait, is that second to last image a Julia Margaret Cameron photo? I think so! I did my MA on her. Yay, pre-Raphaelitism!
