Title
The Legend of Cupid and Psyche: Woman Weeping Beside a Brook
Description
In the mid-1860s, Morris and Burne-Jones embarked on an edition of The Earthly Paradise intended to include more than 200 illustrations. While this extravagant edition of Morris’s poem was eventually abandoned, 47 of Burne-Jones’s illustrations for The Legend of Cupid and Psychewere produced as wood engravings, many of them cut by Morris himself. Psyche, Seeking Death, about to Leap into the Stream, printed on thin tracing paper, displays a surprising delicacy while simultaneously emulating the thick, bold lines of a medieval woodcut.
