In the fall of 1856, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris rented rooms in Red Lion Square formerly occupied by D.G. Rossetti and Walter Deverell. "His promise to make a rough drawing of the place was fulfilled, and the half-sheet of notepaper on which it was done has survived the chances of destruction for these forty-eight years. It is a faithful record of the general aspect of the room, with Edward himself, in caricature likeness, looking with dreaming interest at a picture with which Rossetti had painted one of the chairs Morris designed" (Georgiana Burne-Jones, Memorials of Edward Burne-Jones, 1904).
