Prints of this kind began in the 1790s as loose sheets of figures taken from the popular theatre of the day and illustrating the key actors and characters (for example, Robert Dighton's 1799 portrait of John Kemble playing the title role in Pizarro). As such they were a kind of souvenir. Soon, however, enterprising publishers began issuing sheets that had figures and theatrical scenes designed to be cut out and made part of a toy theatre that children could construct at home. These toy theatres were immensely popular throughout the 19th century, and it is clear (see WMR and Marillier) that DGR played with them and used the engravings as models for his juvenile drawing.

1841 Dante Gabriel writes "Sir Hugh the Heron". DGR began writing this ballad in 1840 and nearly finished it that year. But he lost interest in the work and laid it aside. Later his grandfather Polidori promised to have it printed if he completed it, so he did, and the poem was duly printed in a small run for private circulation in 1843. DGR later had most of the copies of the work destroyed, though a few still survive.
The poem is based on Allan Cunningham's prose tale “The Elfin Miller of Croga Mill,” which DGR read in the second (1840) edition of the collection, originally published in 1826, Legends of Terror. (181-192).

The Genius about to kill the Princess of the Isle of Ebony
DGR expended a good deal of effort on illustrations for this favorite early work, which he knew in the Lane translation (published in 1839). Fredeman says that DGR originally made a series of fifteen drawings, one of which is lost.

In the interim between his early published writing and the success of the Alice books, Dodgson began to move in the pre-Raphaelite social circle. He first met John Ruskin in 1857 and became friendly with him. He developed a close relationship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his family, and also knew William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Arthur Hughes, among other artists.
