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'.

THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG: BURIAL OF SIXTY AUSTRIAN AND DANISH SOLDIERS AT FLENSBURG..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The War in Schleswig: burial of sixty Austrian and Danish soldiers at Flensburg - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. 'The burial of Austrian and Danish soldiers who died of the wounds received at the battle of Oversee was a very impressive ceremony. The coffins had been placed in a large grave, the name and regiment being roughly chalked at the head of each coffin. Many of the dead had wreaths placed on their heads, and most of them had some evergreens at their feet; two of them...had white ribbons. There were sixty altogether, one coffin above another...The ceremony was commenced by the German priest...speaking of the services which the Austrian fallen had rendered to their Emperor and country. The Jaegers on the right then saluted, the band playing the Austrian Hymn. The Danish priest then went through the same ceremony, the band playing and the soldiers saluting...The soldiers then threw some earth over their comrades and gave one last look...The effect of the scene was very picturesque - the dull black of the coffins looking more so by the contrast of the snow. The small building in the background is the chapel of the cemetery; the lion...was erected in commemoration of those who fell at the battle of Idstedt in the last war.'

THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG: THE 9TH REGIMENT OF HUSSARS...BIVOUACKING ON THE BATTLEFIELD..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The War in Schleswig: the 9th regiment of hussars (Prince Liechtenstein's) bivouacking on the battlefield of Over-Selk after the fight - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864.'Far as the eye could reach we saw...the smoke of camp fires. Since Monday 15,000 Austrians and as many more Prussians have had to bivouac in the open air. The country between Breckendorf and Over-Selk was of the bleakest and most inhospitable description...Hedges there were none, as the Danes had cut down what few there existed previously to their retreat...The snow lay an inch and a half deep on the ground when we arrived, and the temperature was not a degree above zero. As we afterwards learnt from the officers and men themselves, the privations they had undergone from Tuesday to Thursday were fearful in the extreme. By Tuesday night there was not a crumb of broad or a glass of drink in any of the few villages in the neighbourhood for miles round. On Wednesday and Thursday the majority of the troops had nothing beyond a slice of black bread to eat and cold water to drink...The army had brought not a single tent with it, and in this wintry weather the men had had to pass three nights in the open air while it was constantly snowing, raining, or freezing'.

THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG: WOUNDED AUSTRIANS...AFTER THE BATTLE OF OVER-SELK..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The War in Schleswig: wounded Austrians on the road to Rendsburg, after the battle of Over-Selk, 1864. 'Since Monday 15,000 Austrians and as many more Prussians have had to bivouac in the open air. The country between Breckendorf and Over-Selk was of the bleakest and most inhospitable description. For miles not a tree was to be seen. Hedges there were none, as the Danes had cut down what few there existed previously to their retreat. The villages and farmhouses are few in number and at wide distances from each other. The inhabitants of the farmhouses had all fled since the end of last week, and they, or the Danes, had carried away every article of furniture and every bit of provender and provisions the houses had contained. The snow lay an inch and a half deep on the ground when we arrived, and the temperature was not a degree above zero. As we afterwards learnt from the officers and men themselves, the privations they had undergone from Tuesday to Thursday were fearful in the extreme...The army had brought not a single tent with it, and in this wintry weather the men had had to pass three nights in the open air while it was constantly snowing, raining, or freezing, and without the small comfort of even a camp fire in many instances'.
