DRACULA - Today is the 125th anniversary of the publication of the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker (Irish, 1847-1912). To mark this, here is a vampire slaying kit (from c. 1890s) associated with Philip Burne-Jones, son of the famous Pre-Raphaelite artist.
We have to assume that Philip Burne-Jones had an interest in vampires – because here also is his painting The Vampire (1897). The model used was likely to have been his lover at the time, actress Mrs Patrick Campbell.
I’m a sucker for gothic literature and beautiful covers!
