'The Lady of Shalott Looking at Lancelot', 1894, (c1930). Illustration to Tennyson's poem, "The Lady of Shalott": the Lady sees 'bold Sir Launcelot' in her mirror: she goes to the window, golden yarn from the loom wrapped round her knees. The mirror through which she must view the outside world cracks 'from side to side', bringing down the curse on her. Painting in Leeds City Art Gallery, Leeds, Yorkshire. From "Modern Masterpieces of British Art". [The Amalgamated Press Ltd., London, c1930]
