I love the Pre-Raphaelites myself, and it drives me nuts when people try 
to use them as source material for SCA projects.  We have a century a 
research available to us that the victorians did not have, and many of 
the things they thought were so, just aren't. That said, I really would 
like to see 'The Last of England' or 'The Awakening Conscience', or for 
that matter 'The Lady of Shallott' in the real world, not just as 
prints.
