Rossetti’s 1857 illustrations of Tennyson—here reissued in 1903—incorporate startling effects derived from medieval and early Renaissance art. Space collapses, forms are cut off, and narrative details are inserted without concern for conventional perspective. Rossetti criticized the engravers and insisted on many changes, delaying the publication.
