Two sketches and the final invitation to a concert of the Magpie Madrigal Society at St James' Hall, Piccadilly, with a woman scattering seeds for the birds flying around her in a field by Edward Burne-Jones, 1897

The Magpie Madrigal Society, active from 1885 to 1911, was a group of affluent and well-connected amateur musicians who gave one Charity Concert and one Invitation Concert every year. Conducted by Lionel Benson, the Society dedicateditself chiefly to English madrigals of the 16th- and 17th-centuries. However, it also performed music written for its members by RCM professors and students, including Hubert Parry, Charles Villiers Stanford, Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Gustav Holst. Many of their concerts took place at the College, too. [...] Each year the Society’s concert invitations were designed by a different artist. Prominent 19th-century figures obliged, including George du Maurier, Herbert Menzies Marshall and Hubert von Herkomer. In 1897, it was the turn of Edward Burne-Jones.
