ISBN: 9781843841340 / Angielski / Twarda / 516 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The period from 1875-77 covers the greater part of what Rossetti's brother William later characterized as -the chloralized years- when the amounts he took, usually accompanied by alcohol, eventually led to another breakdown and even alienated his old friend Ford Madox Brown for a time.
