HARVEST-HOME AT THE PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY'S FARM-SCHOOL, REDHILL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864. 'This institution...is designed for the instruction and moral reformation chiefly of boys under fifteen years of age, who have been convicted of crime and sentenced to a few years' detention in a reformatory under the Juvenile Offenders' Act. The...[boys] are employed in field labour, garden and house work, brickmaking...[etc]. After their discharge a portion of them...are assisted to emigrate...The harvest home...attracted a number of visitors to see the games in a field near the farmyard...Here, though the wet grass and soft ground somewhat interfered with the exercises, the boys contended for prizes, in hurdle-racing, long and high jumping, flat-racing, jumping in sacks, trussed racing, balance riding, and climbing. A contest of a more irregular but not less agreeable character took place in the form of a very amusing scramble for a sackfull of apples, in the course of which no small amount of tumbling about was to be seen, and a few pretty hard knocks were received by the actors, who took all in good part and appeared each well satisfied with his share. Prizes for general conduct, progress in school, cleanliness and order, were given'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864.

TESTIMONIAL TO ALDERMAN R. C. GARDNER, LATE MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Testimonial to Alderman R. C. Gardner, late Mayor of Liverpool, 1864. 'The design [by Messrs. Wordley and Co]...consists of an elegant dessert service of eleven pieces. They comprise a centrepiece, 4 ft. 9 in. in height, elaborately ornamented; also two oval fruit-stands, and four large and four small circular fruit-stands...On the principal pedestal are seated personifications of Faith, Justice, Industry, and Commerce, as the four elements of the late Mayor's successful career; and on the top of the column is introduced a figure of Peace, in reference to the auspicious circumstances associated with his term of office...To indicate the interest at all times manifested by the late Mayor in schools and charitable institutions, both in his official and private capacity, Benevolence is represented on one of the oval fruit-stands as offering temporal aid, and in that upon the other as extending spiritual instruction to the poor. Music, Poetry, Painting, and Sculpture have been similarly introduced on the large circular centrepiece; whilst upon the four smaller ones appear figures emblematical of Morning, Noon, Evening, and Night. The figures are executed in frosted silver, bright silver being employed for the bases'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Testimonial to Alderman R. C. Gardner, late Mayor of Liverpool, 1864.

THE CHIMPANZEE AND THE OURANG-OUTANG AT THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, REGENT'S PARK, 1864. CREATOR: PEARSON.
The chimpanzee and the ourang-outang at the Zoological Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, 1864. 'The new monkey-house lately erected now contains specimens of both of the best known species of apes usually called "Anthropoid," from their resemblance to mankind. These are the ourang (Simia satyrus) and the chimpanzee (Troglodytes niger)...The ourang is a young female about four years old...In its native state the ourang is only found in Borneo and certain parts of Sumatra...The chimpanzee, also a young female...was brought into Liverpool by the last mail steamer from the West Coast of Africa, and there purchased for the society by the superintendent of the gardens, who was dispatched to secure the prize upon its arrival... It has been stated that the ourang and chimpanzee had never before been exhibited together; but this, we believe, is not strictly correct...In 1831...two so-called "orangutans" were exhibited at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, one of which, from the details given, appear to have been, without doubt, a chimpanzee. This fact, however, it may be supposed, will scarcely prove any detraction from the interest excited by the present pair of "Anthropoids," who have already received a host of fashionable visitors'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The chimpanzee and the ourang-outang at the Zoological Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, 1864. Creator: Pearson. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
