Goblin Market illustrations and a Wombat

Hello Victorianists,


Below are two sets of images pertaining to class discussion.  First, in class today we mentioned that numerous artists have illustrated Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market" (or as we know it, "Fruit and Prostitution").  Among these artists is Kinuko Craft whose pornographic images, we noted, were published in Playboy in 1979.  If you are interested, the images here:

Second, we also discussed the fact that Dante Gabriel Rossetti owned a wombat, one of the beasts mentioned in "Goblin Market."  Below you will find two sketches DGR made of Top the wombat.  In the first, Top is accompanied by Jane Morris; in the second, DGR mourns Top's untimely death.  Finally, enjoy a clearer drawing by William Bell Scott entitled "Rossetti's Wombat Seated in his Master's Lap."
