A VISIT TO THE OLD FOLK ON CHRISTMAS EVE - DRAWN BY ALFRED HUNT, 1864. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
A Visit to the Old Folk on Christmas Eve - drawn by Alfred Hunt, 1864. 'If one could take a peep into all the houses in England on Christmas Day, what scenes of domestic happiness would be witnessed!...Here we have one of the well-to-do families - not rich, and certainly not poor - with which England abounds, and which form the bone and muscle of the nation. There is no need of fixing the locality of this scene, for every county, and indeed every parish, of England has at Christmas time many such scenes. The first hearty greetings over, the young mother, with natural pride, shows her baby to its grandmother. How tenderly, nay reverently, the dame, grasping her daughter's hand and shoulder the while, gazes on the dear innocent's face - another daughter looking lovingly on!...A boy and a girl rush gleesomely to their grandfather...The dog, sharing their delight, shows his obstreperous joy by barking himself hoarse and franticly bounding around the group, claiming recognition, for is he not one of the family ? Tenderly the father is about to lift from the holly-covered cart their youngest...The eldest daughter...holds a branch of mistletoe in her hand, too precious a treasure to be trusted to others' care'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. A Visit to the Old Folk on Christmas Eve - drawn by Alfred Hunt, 1864. Creator: Mason Jackson. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

Arrival of the Governor-General of India at the Lahore railway station, 1864. Engraving of a photograph by Messrs. Raybon and West. '...this visit was made an occasion for great festivities...The Punjaub...is the great bulwark of British India...[It] has not only a population of 15,000,000...immediately subject to our rule, but it contains within its borders 7,000,000 of people owning fealty to native chiefs, making the whole population for whose peace and well-being the representatives of Queen Victoria are responsible in the Punjaub nearly the same in number as the inhabitants of Great Britain...The Punjaub Railway is 252 miles in length...[and] constitutes the crown of that great railway system, 2200 miles in length, which will unite Calcutta in the Bay of Bengal with Kurrachee on the Arabian Sea. The Central Railway station...has been built so as to answer in some degree the purposes of a fortress, should the occasion arise, as well as a railway station...it [has] long and massive walls, pierced with loopholes for musketry, flanked by bomb-proof towers and crowned by minarets...Here, in times of danger, the European community could retire, and defend both themselves and the railway against the enemy'.

Princess Alexandra passed most of her earlier years...' at Bernstorff Palace near Copenhagen. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
