<p>Many of us missed the Aubrey Beardsley exhibition at Tate Britain, which ran for less than a fortnight in early March before the onset of lockdown. In this issue of <italic>19 Live</italic>, <bold>Sasha Dovzhyk</bold> discusses Tate&#8217;s handling of Beardsley, while <bold>Amelia Yeates</bold> reviews the recent &#8216;Pre-Raphaelite Sisters&#8217; exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, developing the focus of our inaugural number on Victorian women artists and art critics. The art critic, novelist, and philosopher, Vernon Lee, was also a playwright and committed pacifist. <bold>Sally Blackburn-Daniels</bold> examines an extraordinary performance of Lee&#8217;s <italic>Ballet of the Nations: A Present-Day Morality</italic> (1915) staged at her Florentine villa, Il Palmerino, in summer 2019. Returning to Tate Britain, Blake scholar <bold>Susan Matthews</bold> discusses Tate&#8217;s first major exhibition of William Blake&#8217;s work since 2000. Finally, <bold>Kate Simpson, Justin Livingstone, and Adrian Wisnicki</bold> describe the development of <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://www.livingstoneonline.org/">Livingstone Online</ext-link>, a digital humanities project which explores the written and visual legacies of David Livingstone. As well as providing a hugely rich resource on Livingstone (and both British imperial and African history) <italic>Livingstone Online</italic>, developed over the past fifteen years, provides a model of best practice for the digitization and digital publication of travel records from the &#8216;global south&#8217;.</p>
