The supermodel didn’t arrive when Twiggy first donned false eyelashes; meet a stunning young artists’ model whose face captivated the Victorian age and whose legacy has continued ever since. Join Lucinda Hawksley, author of Lizzie Siddal, The Tragedy of a Pre-Raphaelite Supermodel, and discover the real story behind the woman who modelled for Millais’ Ophelia. Lizzie was not merely the most famous models of the Victorian era and the muse of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, but a talented poet and artist in her own right, with a genuine rags-to-riches life story to rival any Hollywood script.
