Beyond Decoration: The Illustrations of John Everett Millais

John Everett Millais is admired as one of the most celebrated of Pre-Raphaelite painters. Perhaps less known is the major contribution he made both to book and periodical illustration between 1852 and 1883. Many of his illustrations remain little known, largely due to the fact that they are scattered in obscure books and periodicals. This text brings together over 300 examples of his illustrations, enabling this major part of his oeuvre to be appreciated.
