Old Familiar Faces is a novel written by Theodore Watts-Dunton and published in 1916. The book is a fictionalized account of the author's experiences as a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of artists and writers who sought to revive the principles of art and literature from before the Renaissance. The story follows the life of a young artist named Walter Herries, who is drawn into the world of the Pre-Raphaelites and becomes friends with a number of the group's members, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris. As Walter navigates the complexities of the art world and falls in love with a young woman named Mavis Clare, he must also confront the darker aspects of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, including its obsession with death and its tendency towards self-destruction. The novel is a richly detailed portrait of the art and culture of the Victorian era, and explores themes of love, art, and mortality with a powerful emotional depth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
