The Ransom Center houses items by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, including cartoons for the stained-glass Story of St. George and the Dragon. A small collection of drawings in charcoal, pastel, and colored chalk includes studies for Rossetti's Lady Lilith, La Pia, Mary Magdalene, and Dante's Dream at the Death of Beatrice. Work by Sir Edward Burne-Jones includes two cartoons for stained-glass angels produced by William Morris & Co. for St. Peter’s Church in London.
Watch broadcast journalist Mike Wallace's interviews from the television program The Mike Wallace Interview. Wallace donated the show's footage on 16mm kinescope to the Ransom Center in the early 1960s. Most episodes have not been seen since they aired.
