In the mid-1860s, Morris and Burne-Jones embarked on an edition of <em>The Earthly Paradise</em> 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 <em>The Legend of Cupid and Psyche</em>were produced as wood engravings, many of them cut by Morris himself. <em>Psyche, Seeking Death, about to Leap into the Stream,</em> printed on thin tracing paper, displays a surprising delicacy while simultaneously emulating the thick, bold lines of a medieval woodcut.</div>
