Burne-Jones is said to have sketched William and Jane but I can't find it anywhere. Fiona MacCarthy also mentions a photograph of Jane and Bessie as teenage girls but again I can't find it. In the days of more formal sittings nobody seems to have sketched or photographed Bessie but I suspect there must be later ones of her at the Needlework School say that are unidentified. But a lot of that material seems to have been destroyed in WW2, though Jan Marsh says some material seems to have survived. I would love to trawl through the William Morris Gallery archives but I am disabled and can't go.<br /><br />If you do find anything please let me know. She was a more important figure than is given credit.<br /><br />Phillip<br />Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968366076064269729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692868452688401976.post-24820256363753483822012-12-03T21:15:55.356+00:002012-12-03T21:15:55.356+00:00Perhaps you could help?

Strange that she doesnt appear in family photographs isnt it? Do you have an image of her?<br />Many thanks if you can help.
