THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION: "A CONFESSION", BY E. J. AUBERT, 1862. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
The International Exhibition: "A Confession", by E. J. Aubert, 1862. '...two young and beautiful females, intimate friends or companions, being together, and the one involuntarily compelled to confide in the other some newly-formed attachment of a graver kind than friendship, or, more probably, being surprised into the avowal of the love secret by the womanly penetration and tact of her friend...[Aubert] takes us back to ancient Greece, and presents us with two Ionian maidens, draped like the Elgin marbles, walking on a shore of the blue Aegaean, bidding us, as it were, think of Sapphos and Helens, Penelopes and Ariadnes...[He] has given very suitable refinement to the forms; and the somewhat vague tone and opaline colour, though short of the force and effectiveness of nature, may be accepted as in some sort in keeping with dim antiquity and poetical sentiment...The livelier temperament of the slightly-bantering fair girl, and graver, more passionate expression of the dark lady, are perfectly discriminated. On a box will be seen the Greek word [for] "gold," which applies to the receptacle containing the gold thread with which the dark lady is embroidering, and, by the fanciful, may be construed to refer to the thread of her "confession".' From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The International Exhibition: "A Confession", by E. J. Aubert, 1862. Creator: W Thomas. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

The Cyrene Marbles in the British Museum: Apollo, 1861. Creator: Unknown. The Cyrene Marbles in the British Museum: Apollo, 1861. Statue from Cyrene, an ancient Greek and later Roman city near present-day Shahhat, Libya. '...one of the finest specimens of the later Greek [actually Roman] schools preserved to our days. It is of Parian marble, and perfect except that the upper part of the right arm is wanting...It is to be noticed that, besides the lyre, we see the bow and the quiver, around which twines a serpent. The statue has great merits and some defects. The attitude is noble as well as graceful; the face is full of sweetness; the form and surface of the body are excellently sculptured; and the drapery is well arranged. But, on the other hand, the expression of the face, combined with the long hair and the attitude of the statue, makes this too feminine a representation to deserve a place among the best Greek works. The modelling of the drapery...is faulty...[One of]...a selection of antiquities collected by Mr. Werry, her Majesty's Vice-Consul at Ben-Ghazee, a town which represents the ancient Hesperides, afterwards Berenice, the westernmost of the five cities of the Cyrenaïca'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
