This volume, published by Edward Moxon in 1857, features illustrations by Millais, Rossetti, Holman Hunt, Mulready, Creswick, Horsley, Stanfield and Maclise. A number of the drawings for these designs are in the Birmingham collection. The five engravings by Rossetti are as follows: The Lady of Shalott(p.75), Mariana in the South (p.82), two engravings of The Palace of Art (pp. 113, 119), and Sir Galahad (p.305).
