From Pre-Raphaelite fantasies of Arthurian legends to Alice adventuring in Wonderland, the Victorian visual imagination was captured by the Brothers Dalziel.
Established in 1839, they became the most successful wood-engraving company in Britain: ow.ly/cJyr30smc8V

📣 A chance to see Turner Prize nominee Sin Wai Kin's work for FREE in 'Drawing Attention' @britishmuseum until 28 August 💋
Sin Wai Kin's series 'Impressions' documents their drag performances by taking an imprint of their makeup with a face wipe, acting as a ‘death mask’ for the drag character it preserves.
This work memorialises a look from London Pride 2017: ow.ly/pIV930smzJ5 @SinforVictory
