Focuses on two of the most popular mid-19h-century genres - illustration and narrative painting - that blurred the line between the visual and textual. Illustrations in Victorian publications and the narrative scenes in the Royal Academy reveal the Victorians' ideas about the world in which they lived and their notions of gender, class, and race.
