Sarah Cox … aka Fanny Cornforth … born anywhere between 1824 (this date according to some) and 1836 (this date according to her), died 1905; prostitute, housekeeper, and golden girl of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement; the face of Sidonia von Bork, Bocca Baciata, Fair Rosamund, Lilith and many more …
This photo was taken in the 1860s; in it Fanny imitates the famous pose she did for Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s unfinished work “Found” on her first day of modeling for him …
