    1. Well you've killed it off straight away. 😁

  2. sorry, 1,2,4 just came to me - I don't know what a pre-raphaelite is!, just associate the names.
    5, 6 were guesses, and 7, rang a bell in a distant corner of my memory, but don't know the details.

    A bit different to last weeks!

    Thanks
