(The video still used to represent this video shows a detail from the painting 'The Mirror' by Sir Frank Dicksee. Mary Lloyd - who also posed for Waterhouse - is the model in the painting - this was the only image available ... the other choices were frames with only text.)
I thought it was strange that the books dealing with Waterhouse's exquisite works never mention the models' names. Thanks for sharing your research on the topic, even though it remains something of a mystery.
