Edward Burne-Jones is renowned for his beautiful and often melancholy evocations of a mythical, literary, ancient or medieval world. It will surprise many therefore to discover that he was a talented caricaturist and comic sketch artist with an impish sense of humour. Rarely published images from the British Museum will highlight: amusing sketches from everyday life, including colourful characters at the Turkish Baths; fond and humorous caricatures of William Morris and other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; charming extracts from Burne-Jones's illustrated 'Letters to Katie', the young daughter of a friend and witty self-portraits of an increasingly frustrated artist at work.
