Notes:In March 1907, Euphemia and Henry Lamb went to Paris to stay with Augustus John and Dorelia McNeill at Montparnasse.[1][9] Henry became John's pupil and Euphemia his model. John was fascinated by Euphemia's appearance and her sexual behaviour, and he nicknamed her Lobelia", a name he used quite openly with her husband.[10] Dorelia became romantically interested in Henry, which John encouraged so that he could spend more time with Euphemia,[11] though he denied any personal romantic interest in her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemia_Lamb"
