LE PETIT MINET, BY W. L. THOMAS...EXHIBITION OF THE INSTITUTE OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS, 1865. CREATOR: WILLIAM LUSON THOMAS.
Le Petit Minet, by W. L. Thomas, from the exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, 1865. 'Mr. Thomas's ability as an engraver, before he made his debut as a painter in water colours, can scarcely be unknown to the readers of this Journal...Almost as vividly as if we saw them, do these children stand out against the sunlighted wall of that crazy old fisherman's cottage (as we infer it to be by the haddock drying against the wall) the girl with the quaint, old-fashioned mob-cap; the earrings, shawl, jerkin, and short petticoat of the full-grown Picardy fishwoman; the miniature matelot, clad, not less precociously, in his great red worsted cap, coarse, shrunken blue overshirt, and baggy, pieced-out, tar-begrimed, and polished trousers...Though beyond the doll period, the little matron must needs have something to nurse, so, in default of a baby sister, she cradles the family kitten in her arms; and the boy, sea-urchin as he is, unable to restrain his mischievous - but, as we see by his expression, hardly cruel - propensities, teases tiny pussy by tickling her ears with a straw, an experiment in natural history to which that little animal will probably ere long make some sharp opposition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. Le Petit Minet, by W. L. Thomas...exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, 1865. Creator: William Luson Thomas.

A TAVERN BRAWL, BY JOHN GILBERT,...EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
A Tavern Brawl, by John Gilbert, in the Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'Such brawls were common in that ruder and more licentious, though vigorous and glorious, age...the duello was considered a most honourable, equitable, and gentleman-like mode of liquidating debts, proving wrong to be right, and wiping ail stain, however black, from the criminal. Naturally, when hot-blooded young gallants, professional gamesters and bravoes, swaggering swashbucklers, and lawless roisterers of all kinds...met at the taverns...when the sack and canary had freely circulated and women were toasted, and cards were played, then the disputes and difficulties which would be sure to arise would certainly be settled on the spot...by the convenient arbitration of the sword. The arbitration would also, though the question might be most trivial, not unfrequently have, for one at least of the parties to it, a fatal conclusion...And such, doubtless, is the fate of the handsome young fellow in our picture, who now lies weltering in his blood...His young adversary - perhaps a schoolfellow and friend, perhaps a mere tavern acquaintance...looks on, cooled, saddened, even regretful, as he wipes the ensanguined blade'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. A Tavern Brawl, by John Gilbert,...Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, 1864. Creator: W Thomas.

SCENE FROM "DAVID GARRICK," AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE: GARRICK...[AND] ADA INGOT..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene from "David Garrick," at the Haymarket Theatre: Garrick (Mr. Sothern) entreating Ada Ingot (Miss Moore) to return to her father, 1864. London stage production. 'Those of our readers who are curious to know how Mr. Sothern looks now that he has removed his moustache...will be interested in the Engraving [of] the new play of "David Garrick." Mr. Sothern, as all playgoers know, assumes the trying part of the great English actor...his impersonation is throughout easy and natural. It may seem a curious compliment to pay to one actor who represents another, to say that the performance is remarkably un-stagey - except, of course, when the exigencies of the scene require a display of theatrical art in its ordinary sense...in the scene where he simulates drunkenness he proves himself fully equal to the fresh call upon his powers..."David Garrick,"...has served Mr. Buckstone's purpose by drawing crowded houses...The Sketch we have engraved represents that passage, in the last scene of the play, where Garrick, who has been feigning bad manners that he may cure Aga Ingot of her romantic passion for himself, consoles her for the mortification she has suffered, and persuades her to go home to her father; while the father stands behind to listen'.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER, BY W. BROMLEY, IN THE EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
The Photographer, by W. Bromley, in the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'Look...at the little boys...How laughably they copy the mysterious proceedings and apparatus of a photographer! They have placed the music-stool on a chair, and...have constructed something which bears a general resemblance, in form, to a camera and stand...they have evidently posed the group to be photographed; and one boy, in mimicry of the "photographic artist," puts his head under a shawl and looks through the music tube in order to adjust the focus...The group to be photographed meanwhile enact their part very creditably. The girl, as befits her years, enters into the spirit of the performance...The little boy in her lap, however, discovers that apprehensiveness of something terrible and extraordinary going to happen which may be detected in the expressions of older folk when that formidable instrument of torture, the camera...is aimed at them for the first time...As regards the composition of this group, it is arranged more agreeably than we see similar subjects treated in the ordinary run of photographs; for it is in the "posing" of his unfortunate "patients" that the full-grown photographer generally fails'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The Photographer, by W. Bromley, in the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1864. Creator: W Thomas. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

BOX MADE OF THE WOOD OF SHAKSPEARE’S MULBERRY-TREE, PRESENTED TO [DAVID] GARRICK..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Box made of the wood of Shakspeare's mulberry-tree, presented to [David] Garrick by the town of Stratford-on-Avon, 1864. Item from a bequest to the British Museum: '...the box or casket, made of the wood of the mulberry-tree planted by Shakspeare, in which the freedom of the borough of Stratford-on Avon was presented to [Shakespearian actor David] Garrick. This casket was purchased by the late Mr. Mathews, the comedian, at Mrs. Garrick's sale, and when his library and curiosities were brought to the hammer in August, 1835, it was, amidst a crowd of bidders, knocked down to Mr. George Daniel, at a large sum. It is exquisitely carved with the following devices: In the front, Fame holding the bust of Shakspeare, and the three Graces crowning him with laurel; on the back, Garrick, finely delineated, in the character of King Lear in the storm scene; on the sides are emblematical figures representing Tragedy and Comedy; the top and corners are boldly carved with subjects and devices from Shakspeare's works. It is raised upon and supported by four silver griffins, with ruby eyes. On the 3rd of May, 1709, the freedom of Stratford-on-Avon was presented to Mr. Garrick, inclosed in this famous casket'.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON: SCENE FROM "THE COMEDY OF ERRORS"...1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration at Stratford-On-Avon: scene from "The Comedy of Errors", as performed in the Festival Pavilion, 1864. Celebrating the tercentenary of William Shakespeare's birth. Play performed by the company of the Princess's Theatre. 'It is the scene in which Antipholus of Syracuse, being mistaken for his brother of Ephesus by the wife of the latter, is accosted, very much to his astonishment, with conjugal entreaties and reproaches, by Adriana, whom he never saw before in his life. She has been scolding him for his neglect, and she now insists upon taking his arm and leading him home to dinner; while Dromio, no less astonished than his master, cries out that they have got into fairyland, and are transformed, in mind and shape, by some fallacious arts of magic. This Dromio (of Syracuse) is Mr. Charles Webb, whom nobody can distinguish from his brother Henry, the Dromio of Ephesus; Mr. George Vining is the Antipholus of Syracuse, and the Adriana is Miss Caroline Carson. "The Comedy of Errors," as performed at the Princess's and at the Stratford festival, is not the entire work of Shakspeare, but an abridgment or condensation, forming but a single act'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The Shakspeare Commemoration at Stratford-On-Avon: scene from "The Comedy of Errors"...1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION: SCENE FROM..."KING HENRY IV.", PART I, PLAYED AT DRURY LANE..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration: scene from Shakspeare's play of "King Henry IV.", Part I, as played at Drury Lane - Battle of Shrewsbury, in the last act, 1864. 'In our review of the performance at Drury Lane of this wonderful historical drama, we noticed not only the admirable manner in which the play is acted throughout, but the skill and effect with which, in the last act, the Battle of Shrewsbury was managed. The general melée was prepared for by stage arrangements which gave the greatest effect to it, both in regard to the suddenness of its appearance and the completeness of its accessories...[we] give the reader some notions of this remarkable scene by an Engraving...Such a representation cannot, it is true, give any great prominence to the principal actors; but it can display the confusion and the grandeur of the battle-field, which here scarcely shows as a stage-scene at all, but, in consequence of the excellent arrangements to which we have alluded, looks like the reality itself. Stage illusion has never been carried to a higher point, nor have the resources of our national stage ever been devoted to a worthier object. It is highly creditable to the management and to the public by whose patronage it has been supported'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The Shakspeare Commemoration: scene from..."King Henry IV.", Part I, played at Drury Lane..., 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

HARVEST-HOME AT THE PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY'S FARM-SCHOOL, REDHILL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864. 'This institution...is designed for the instruction and moral reformation chiefly of boys under fifteen years of age, who have been convicted of crime and sentenced to a few years' detention in a reformatory under the Juvenile Offenders' Act. The...[boys] are employed in field labour, garden and house work, brickmaking...[etc]. After their discharge a portion of them...are assisted to emigrate...The harvest home...attracted a number of visitors to see the games in a field near the farmyard...Here, though the wet grass and soft ground somewhat interfered with the exercises, the boys contended for prizes, in hurdle-racing, long and high jumping, flat-racing, jumping in sacks, trussed racing, balance riding, and climbing. A contest of a more irregular but not less agreeable character took place in the form of a very amusing scramble for a sackfull of apples, in the course of which no small amount of tumbling about was to be seen, and a few pretty hard knocks were received by the actors, who took all in good part and appeared each well satisfied with his share. Prizes for general conduct, progress in school, cleanliness and order, were given'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
