Scott, Ford Maddox Brown, Walter H. Deverell, Frederic George Stephens (under the pseudonyms John Seward and Laura Savage), Major Calder Campbell and John Orchard. As described in the auction catalogue of the library of the Late General Brayton Ives in 1915, "First Edition of the rare journal of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood the members of which were,--William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Thomas Woolner, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens, and W. M. Rossetti, of whom D. G. Rossetti was the leading spirit. The desire to give expression to their feeling of revolt against conventionality in art led to starting The Germ, the first number of which was issued in January, 1850. Three others followed, February, March and April, all under the editorship of W. M. Rossetti. Of the first number 700 copies were printed, of which (between 70 and 200 from combined sources as of 2023) were sold, and a smaller number of the February issue. After the February number Rossetti and his friends felt that the support accorded the magazine did not warrant their carrying it on, but the printers shouldered the responsibility, changing the name to Art and Poetry: being Thoughts towards Nature, and two more numbers were issued, when it died a natural death. Among the famous writings from D. G. Rossetti's pen which appeared for the first time in The Germ were, Hand and Soul, The Blessed Damozel, From the Cliffs--Noon, later called Sea Limits, The Carillon, My Sister's Sleep; from Christina Rossetti, Dream Land, A Pause of Thought; from Coventry Patmore, The Seasons, Stars and Moon, Essay on Macbeth, and others from the various contributors, a detailed list of which will be found in Mr. W. M. Rossetti's preface to the reprint of The Germ." Two finely bound sets, one with associations, sold in 2021 for $14,025 and $9,562 respectively. Last set in original parts sold in 2021 for 10,065 pounds ($14,700) and the wraps were far worse off than the (comparatively) near immaculate covers found on this set. Sotheby's sold a set from the Martin Library in 2016 for $15,150. VG or better .
