Here are the rest of the images of my goblin market set; it might help to look at Rosetti's poem itself to understand the narrative, but briefly the story is as follows:

Two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, hear the goblin fruit sellers by the brook one evening. The following day, Laura is tempted to buy from them, using a lock of her golden hair as payment.   She then falls into a wasting malaise. Lizzie attempts to procure more fruit to cure her, using a silver piece, but is rejected. The goblins try to force her to eat and claim another victim but she resists. On returning home, she uses the juice and pulp staining her dress to try and cure her sister, who has a fit and  passes out, but wakes the following day cured.
