   The Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

   This collection of poetry, written about 1960, was quite popular in the early 1900’s. Hanscom worked on these illustrations from about 1906 until they were published in 1915. As in the Rubaiyat, both a sepia version and a tinted version of the book was published.

   Many of the illustrations for the Sonnets show the influence of her classical art training.
