  <dc:title>The Herschel Children</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Double portrait of two siblings, a younger child on the left in a loose gown with a red collar and a slighter older girl on the right in a blue dress and straw bonnet. The image purportedly shows Matilda Rose Herschel (1844-1914) and John Herschel FRS (1837-1921), although their ages do not seem to align with the appearance of the children. It may instead be a portrait of Maria Sophia Herschel (1839-1929) and Matilda Rose Herschel, or even a self-portrait of Margaret Louisa Herschel (1834-1861) with  John Herschel FRS.</dc:description>
