Murray and later R.Catterson-Smith would draw over a pale photograph of the original drawing by Burne-Jones, first in silver-point or pencil and then in ink with a fine brush, before it was transferred photographically to the woodblock for engraving by W.H.Hooper. In this case it is unclear as to whether the border and caption is the work of William Morris himself or similarly copied.The Ancoats Brotherhood was a socialist workers' organization in Manchester founded by Charles Rowley in 1878. It provided lectures, concerts and exhibitions for the working classes and lecturers included William Morris, Ford Madox Brown, Peter Kropotkin and George Bernard Shaw.
