Burne-Jones began making designs for the project in 1863, and several studies and sketches of this are in the collection of the Tate Britain.There is also one study for the design (on the reverse of 1927P511) in the Birmingham collection as well as another copy of the Dalziels' Bible Gallery (1920P713.2.68), and the original woodblock itself (2006.1040.68).
