Your turn #4

john williams water house, cleopatra, 1887 (a pre raphaelite)


dear class: there's plenty to talk about: architecture revivals, the romantic mark, chromolithography, yellow journalism, owen jones' grammar of ornament, the presentation of fashion in magazines, photojournalism, victorian design, comics, the pre raphaelites (and their aesthetics) and star designers like mackmurdo,  william morris, thomas nast, randolph caldecott, etc.

an observation: in your comment dig deeper, be less casual and more deliberate; make use wikipedia to amplify your ideas (no copy&paste!).

go ahead.
