Stephanie, forgot to say that several years ago i made a multi-media collage and did not know “who” it was of until i discovered Lizzy’s story. I would like to send it to you as my gift to you, for all of your wonderful PRB work.

best wishes for your husband’s healing, Lisa E.

p.s. is there some e-mail address i can send the image to? Please feel free to use my personal e-mail if you can access that here….

Hi Stephanie and Steve,

Thanks for looking into the mystery painting at Redhouse. I have not come back to this site for a while but was grateful for your interest in the question. I’ll dig up that article and see if there are any more specifics.

I recently watched Desperate Romantics and was sort of surprised by the liberties taken with the story historically. I’ve noticed that some of the people writing about Lizzy Siddal and the PRB’s have names that are similar to people connected to those circles at the time – such as Lucinda (Lucy Maddox Brown/ Rossetti) and Franny Moyle (Fanny Cornforth). It made me smile and wonder whether people have “come back” to restore the story!

I found your web site a couple of years ago when doing research for a sculptural tiara I was making for an exhibition. The tiara has developed into a direction for my work, and I thought you might be interested so have attatched my web site. All my best Rowan

The readers of this site may be interested to know that this year, on the 150th anniversary of her death, Red House is planning a partial restoration of the Elizabeth Siddal wall painting.

Comment on Photographs of Elizabeth Siddal’s Grave by Laura

I visited Highgate Cemetary this morning, as I live nearby. At the end of the tour we visited Lizzie Siddall’s grave, it being 150 years since she died. There were two vases filled with lillies and flowers on the grave. I am sorry that I do not have photos, I decided not to take my camera today as I concentrate on what i’m looking at better without it! Thank you for your site, I found it, having returned from the visit keen to find out more information about her.

Alias Grace is a wonderful book, I read it for the first time several months ago. Of course, I picked it up because I saw Lizzie Siddal on the cover! It’s excellent.

Elizabeth Siddal had a very difficult time on this earth; the real tragedy of her life is what she might have done with a bit more longevity or a bit more ease. I’m not a big fan of poetry, but this one left me breathless.

Hi,

recently I bought a book – by M. Atwood – “alias Grace”. The content and plot very excellent – but my attraction always returned back to the book cover. I said to myself – I must and will have once a “re-print” of this picture. Today I found “on chance” – while visiting wikipedia her name “Elizabeth Siddal. I was actually engaged doing research about chaos-theory. But I´m glad, I found her name.

Thanks,

Bree
