'A setback occurred in April 1861, however, when Elizabeth Siddal gave birth to a stillborn child. The evidence suggests that she suffered from postnatal depression - ODB

'Though Rossetti had a melancholy side, he was also open, warm, and charismatic. With men he seems to have been companionable rather than competitive - ODB

'Rossetti's art work features prominently in many public collections in Britain. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery has perhaps the largest collection, but the Tate has a large number of items, as do the British Museum; Manchester City Art Galleries; the Fitzwilliam Museum.. and the Ashmolean Museum. Abroad, the Fogg Art Museum... has a distinguished collection. The Samuel and Mary R. Bancroft collection at Wilmington, Delaware, holds many items connected with Rossetti and his life.' - ODB
