The Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones hadn’t twigged the connection between ‘mummy brown’ and real mummies until one Sunday lunch in 1881, when a friend related having just seen one ground up at a colourman’s warehouse. Burne-Jones was so horrified he rushed to his studio to find his tube of mummy brown, and ‘insisted on our giving it a decent burial there and then’. The scene made a great impression on the teenage Rudyard Kipling, Burne-Jones’s nephew by marriage, who was also a guest at lunch. ‘[T]o this day,’ he wrote years later, ‘I could drive a spade within a foot of where that tube lies.’
