SKETCHES FROM NEW YORK: A GARTEN WIRTHSCHAFT, 1864. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
Sketches from New York: a Garten Wirthschaft, 1864. 'There is hardly a street, lane, or alley in the city of New York in which the lager beer saloon, in some of its various forms, is not to be found. The Garten Wirthschaft...is most endeared to the contemplative Teuton...Music is always a leading attraction here. From the afternoon until a late hour of night the band performs industriously in a gallery high over head; and each musician removes the ophicleide or flute from his lips only to refresh them with a mug of lager beer. In the intervals of the music the players light their pipes or cigars, and sit gravely studying the scores before them. In some of these places there is a small stage at one end, with a piano and a stout woman in fancy costume who sings gutturally to the twanging of a monstrous guitar. The company are chiefly well-to-do mechanics and tradespeople, who bring their wives, and children with them, and even the baby is sure to be treated with a modicum of the ruddy malt. The waiters deftly wind in and out through the crowd, with three or four mugs in each hand and a couple of glasses on the top. Small girls parade up and down with little trays of sweetmeat for sale...There is invariably a shooting-gallery...'. 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.
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)
