THE FALL OF THE REICHENBACH...FARNLEY HALL COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS BY J.M.W. TURNER, R.A., 1865. CREATOR: W. J. LINTON.
The Fall of the Reichenbach, from the Farnley Hall Collection of drawings by J.M.W. Turner, R.A., 1865. Engraving of a photograph of a drawing. The subject '...has no adventitious or extrinsic interest: we select it only as a representation of a well-known and remarkable scene, and as one of the most powerfully-painted and impressive drawings of the series...Here we have the great fall and also several of the series of cascades by which the torrent gains the valley, far beneath, of Grindelwald. From the natural division of the scene, in the point of view chosen, into two nearly equal parallel masses, and the central position of the fall, arise a degree of symmetry rarely seen in Turner's compositions; yet, we are not sure that this does not give as it were a more epical fulness and framing to the story of the fall...Everything converges towards the torrent; everything leads the attention to track its course up to the mountain region where its mysterious source lies cradled in snow and swathed in mist, and whence, with growing strength, full of fierce young life, it escapes, bursting, with roar and shout, through the barriers of the giant precipices, which, with their proud phalanx of bristling pines'.

A SNOWSTORM ON MONT CENIS...FARNLEY HALL COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS BY J.M.W. TURNER, R.A., 1865. CREATOR: W. J. LINTON.
A Snowstorm on Mont Cenis, from the Farnley Hall Collection of drawings by J.M.W. Turner, R.A., 1865. Engraving of a photograph of a drawing, dated 1820, described by John Ruskin: 'The scene is on the summit of the pass, close to the hospice...This building, about 400 or 500 yards off, is seen in a dim, ashy grey, against the light, which, by help of a violent blast of mountain wind, has broken through the depth of clouds which hang upon the crags. There is no sky...nothing but this roof of drifting cloud; but neither is there any weight of darkness; the high air is too thin for it, all savage, howling, and luminous with cold, the massy bases of the granite hills jutting out here and there grimly through the snow wreaths. There is a desolate-looking refuge on the left...a diligence in front, whose horses, unable to face the wind, have turned right round with fright, its passengers, struggling to escape, jammed in the window; a little farther on is another carriage off the road, some figures pushing at its wheels and its driver at the horses' heads, pulling and lashing with all his strength, his lifted arm stretched out against the light of the distance, though too far off for the whip to be seen'.

A FIRST-RATE TAKING IN STORES...FARNLEY HALL COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS BY J.M.W. TURNER, R.A., 1865. CREATOR: W. J. LINTON.
A First-Rate Taking in Stores, from the Farnley Hall Collection of drawings by J.M.W. Turner, R.A., 1865. One of '...the admirable photographs, by Messrs. Caldesi and Co...from the collection of Turner drawings in the possession of Mr. F. H. Fawkes - the finest series of water-colour drawings by our great English landscape-painter belonging to any private gallery..."The First-Rate Taking in Stores," is...instanced by Mr. Ruskin as illustrating Turner's marvellous rapidity of execution as well as memory...It represents a section of the hull of a three-decker from stem to stern, her bows towards the spectator, with her tiers of portholes and guns, anchors and hawsers, part of her stern gallery, her chains and running and standing rigging to the lower spars all elaborately detailed, and as the whole would be seen towering...an ordinary boat; together with a couple of shore boats delivering stores, looking like toys against her huge flank; another running before the wind...The men-of-war and small craft, the sky; the sea, agitated by wind and tide, and fretting into foam against the swelling, inert, half-wet, and glistening mass of the great hull in the foreground - all seem equally studied directly from nature'.

NORHAM CASTLE, FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHED EDITION OF THE "LIBER STUDIORUM", BY J. M. W. TURNER, 1864. CREATOR: W. J. LINTON.
Norham Castle, from the photographed edition of the "Liber Studiorum", by J. M. W. Turner, 1864. '...a photograph from any work of art...in which variety of colour is a prominent characteristic must be full of relative untruthfulness and can scarcely be other than inharmonious. Hence, photographs from the oil pictures and water-colour drawings of Turner...are to the last degree disappointing...On the other hand, photographs from rare proof engravings after, or monochrome drawings by, Turner, in which (as through the medium of photographs) colour does not interfere with the scale of gradation, are entirely satisfactory...For this reason photographs from Turner's "Liber Studiorum" - a collection which has only appeared in the form of sepia drawings or engravings thereof - possess, so to speak, a genuine documentary value...Turner did not consider that his task was completed when he placed his drawings in the hands of the engravers. On the contrary, he bestowed unremitted attention on the engraver's progress, frequently altering, correcting, and making additions...the photographs from the original drawings, taken by Mr. Thurston Thompson...and published by Messrs. Cundall and Downes, are by far the more estimable'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Norham Castle, from the photographed edition of the "Liber Studiorum", by J. M. W. Turner, 1864. Creator: W. J. Linton. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
