The beginning of the world : twenty-five pictures / by Edward Burne-Jones.

"The designs in this book were made for an illustrated edition of Mr. Mackail's "Biblia innocentium" which was to have been produced by the Kelmscott press and to have contained upwards of two hundred pictures. Many of these were begun, but none quite finished. The twenty-five designs here given were so far carried out that, with the help of Mr. Catterson Smith, it has been possible to complete and reproduce them."--Preface.
