Title
Amor Mundi
Description
English: Frederick Sandys was one of the most prolific and gifted illustrators of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. This illustration appeared in The Shilling Magazine accompanied by a poem of the same title by Christina Rossetti, Dante Gabriel’s sister. The poem recounts the story of two reckless young lovers and the consequences of their irresponsible actions. The first stanza reads, Oh, where are you going with your love-locks flowing On the west wind blowing along this valley track? The downhill path is easy, come with me an’ it please ye, We shall escape the uphill by never turning back. (see references)

Licensing[edit]

The author died in 1904, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
