Information
Sandys had a love of academic life drawing and the solid basis he derived from such studies underlies most of his full length figurative work, even on the small scale demanded by book illustration. 'Helen and Cassandra' appeared in the magazine Once a Week on 28 April 1866, alongside verses written by Alfred B. Richards to accompany the engraving.
