In 1857 Dante Rossetti created four designs for illustrations to be included in Edward Moxon's collection of Tennyson's poetry, which also included illustrations done by many other members of the PRB. Two of these engravings, titled King Arthur and the Weeping Queens and St. Cecelia, illustrate Tennyson's The Palace of Art, a poem that expresses the spiritual despair of the Soul who isolates herself in her arts and can only be cured by leaving the palace of art for a cottage among men.
