GARIBALDIAN PRISONERS ON THEIR WAY….TO THE FORTS OF GENOA - FROM A SKETCH BY M. BEAUCÉ, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Garibaldian prisoners on their way from Aspromonte to the forts of Genoa - from a sketch by M. Beaucé, 1862. '...a detachment of 200 of the youthful patriots on their way up to the forts on the coast of Genoa...The Aspromontian captives were escorted militarily by a number of the Royal Carbineers, aided by certain police agents...[The] prisoners...were nearly all young men of from eighteen to twenty-four years of age, badly dressed, some almost in rags, many without shoes and bareheaded. Several had much trouble to proceed, tired and worn out by the fatigue and privations they had lately undergone. Their condition was an evident proof of the inaccuracy of General Cialdini's statement, in his official report of the Aspromonte affair, to the effect that large sums of money had been distributed by Garibaldi to his followers...which led to their surrender - a statement that has since been indignantly denied...by several of the respectable young men who...had persevered in their fidelity to the liberator...with all the ardour of youth, in an attempt to carry out what must be dear to every honest Italian's heart. It is well they should be spared the humiliation of a trial, for their country may yet stand in need of their services'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.

ILLUSTRATION OF THE GREAT FIRE AT ENSCHEDE, BY OUR SPECIAL ARTIST: GENERAL VIEW OF THE TOWN..., 1862 CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Illustration of the Great Fire at Enschede, by our special artist: general view of the town after the fire, sketched from the meadows, 1862. '...about four thousand individuals, possessing nothing but the clothes on their backs, many even shoeless and hatless - all supperless - bivouacked under the trees or the starry heaven, waiting, hungry and exhausted, till the intelligence of their calamity had aroused the inhabitants of the neighbouring districts to supply them with the necessaries of life. It is certainly remarkable that only three lives were lost...great distress prevails among the burned-out citizens; but those upon whom the brunt of suffering comes most severely - that is, the poor - bear their trials with admirable fortitude. Throughout the length and breadth of the country subscriptions are pouring in for their relief; the War Department has sent tents and clothing; every newspaper has its Enschedé Fund; every influential citizen is a member of some committee charged to receive subscriptions for them; and every lady is philanthropically occupied in preparing some specimen of her taste and handicraft for a lottery or bazaar whose proceeds are to be devoted to the alleviation of the hard fate of the poor operatives of Enschedé'.

THE GREAT FIRE AT ENSCHEDE, HOLLAND: DISTRIBUTION OF BLANKETS TO THE HOUSELESS..., 1862. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
The Great Fire at Enschede, Holland: distribution of blankets to the houseless - from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. '...a labouring man had expressed to some of his comrades his disgust at the dull state of trade, and the hope that the whole town might take fire, so that there might be work to be had...At about noon on May 7, he took leave of his comrades...saying, "I hope when I reach the town I shall find it in flames"...If this man was not the incendiary it is certainly a remarkable coincidence that...a few minutes after his return home, sparks were seen to issue from [his] garret...Blown into fury by the gale, the flames rapidly passed on from dwelling to dwelling, from manufactory to manufactory...That night about four thousand individuals, possessing nothing but the clothes on their backs, many even shoeless and hatless - all supperless - bivouacked under the trees or the starry heaven, waiting, hungry and exhausted, till the intelligence of their calamity had aroused the inhabitants of the neighbouring districts to supply them with the necessaries of life. It is certainly remarkable that only three lives were lost by this calamitous conflagration. The value of the property destroyed is estimated at about a million sterling'.
