THE NEW HIGH-LEVEL STATION AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE, 1865. CREATOR: T SULMAN.
The new High-Level Station at the Crystal Palace, 1865. 'The South London and Crystal Palace Railway...has now been open several weeks...the superior convenience of the new station is already felt by many visitors...[who are able to] avoid the tedious walk up half a mile of corridors and staircases imposed on those arriving by the Brighton Company's line...[The station] is situated on the slope of the Upper Norwood-Hill...The platform being on a level with the lower floor (in the machinery department) of the Crystal Palace, railway passengers will have easy access by a handsome and well-lighted subway...The station has four platforms, of which two are set apart for the use of first-class passengers only, and these will communicate by a separate passage with the first-class entrance in the centre transept...There will be room in the station and sidings for engines and carriages enough to carry away 7000 or 8000 passengers in an hour...at present nineteen trains run daily each way...The line has been constructed by Messrs. Peto and Betts; the engineer is Mr. Turner; Mr. Shelford is the resident engineer, and Mr. Edward Barry has been the architect of the Crystal Palace station, which was built by Messrs. Lucas, at a cost of about £100,000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. The new High-Level Station at the Crystal Palace, 1865. Creator: T Sulman. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Scene from "David Garrick," at the Haymarket Theatre: Garrick...[and] Ada Ingot..., 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
