MONUMENT TO THE LATE ARCHBISHOP MUSGRAVE IN YORK MINSTER, 1864. CREATORS: UNKNOWN, MATTHEW NOBLE.
Monument to the late Archbishop Musgrave in York Minster, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. John Draffin. 'The sculptor is Mr. Noble. This structure consists of a base of carved Caen stone, surmounted with a recumbent figure of the late Archbishop in Carrara marble. The stonework, which is 8 ft. 10 in. by 3 ft. 6 in., is surrounded with sixteen columns of alabaster, between each of which are shields bearing the arms of the see of York and the family of the late Archbishop, surmounted by the mitre. The heads of the columns are elaborately carved in the floriated style, representing the honeysuckle, ivy, thorn-leaf, and vine. The thorn-leaf carving is also inserted round a projecting moulding, which supports the figure. Each corner of the base is also carved with a flowing leaf, and the angle of the cusps in the quatrefoils is also similarly carved. The figure, which is 7 ft. 6 in. long, is represented as reclining on its back upon a mattress in tinted marble, the head and upper part of the shoulders resting upon a cushion, at each of the four corners of which hangs a tassel. The Bible, pressed with both hands, lies upon the breast of the deceased Archbishop, who is attired in the full canonical costume of his office'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

The grave of the late Commodore Burnett, lost in H.M.S. Orpheus, at Manukau, New Zealand, 1864. Engraving from a photograph. 'The wreck of H.M.S. Orpheus, which foundered upon the bar of Manukau Harbour, in the northern island of New Zealand, about a twelvemonth ago, is commemorated by the tomb of Commodore Burnett, C.B., erected in the cemetery of Auckland, at the expense of the surviving officers of that ship, and others who have served under him...The cemetery is situated but a quarter of a mile out of the town, and has a southern aspect...The inscription...is as follows: "Sacred to the memory of William Farquharson Burnett, Esq., C.B., who perished, with 22 officers and 167 men, in the total loss of H.M.S. Orpheus, on the Manukau Bar, New Zealand, on Feb. 9, 1863." On the side of the tomb are inscribed these words, "Erected by the officers of her Majesty's ships under his command." In the same ground, and just on this side of Commodore Burnett's tomb in our Engraving, is the grave of Captain Swift, of the 65th Regiment - a gallant young officer who was killed in a fight with the Maoris at Pukekohe, on the Waikato River, on the 11th of September last'. The wreck of the Orpheus was the worst maritime tragedy to occur in New Zealand waters. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The grave of the late Commodore Burnett, lost in H.M.S.

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 BARTLOW HILLS (GRAVE MOUNDS OF THE ROMANS), ESSEX, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Bartlow Hills (Grave Mounds of the Romans), Essex, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. G. Collins, of '...four tumuli, arranged in a row and varying in size, the largest being 142 ft. in diameter at the base and 44ft. high...Excavations...distinctly prove them to be Roman works. Many curious and valuable sepulchral relics were discovered in them, but they were unfortunately lost in the fire which burned down Easton Lodge, near Dunmow, the seat of Viscount Maynard, on whose estates the hills are situated. It was feared that these venerable landmarks were condemned to destruction in order to accommodate a feeder of the Great Eastern Railway...the Archaeological Institute...at once addressed a remonstrance to the railway directors. At a recent meeting of the institute, Mr. Purnell, the secretary, read the correspondence which had passed with the Great Eastern Railway Company on the subject. The engineer-in-chief, in one of his letters, states that it was never his intention to injure the hills, but he admits his design to bring the proposed line between two of them. Here the matter at present rests. It is to bo hoped that the good feeling of the railway directors will cause them to spare these famous Roman grave-mounds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

MONUMENT ON THE BATTLE-FIELD OF MAGENTA, ERECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF LOMBARDY..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Monument on the battle-field of Magenta, erected by the people of Lombardy in honour of the French Army, 1864. Engraving from a drawing by M. Mariani. 'The people of Lombardy [in northern Italy] have lately subscribed for the erection of a monument to express their gratitude for their liberation...the design was furnished by Signor Giovanni Brocca...who has endeavoured to combine three purposes in one by the construction of a tomb, a chapel, and a monument. The style is Egyptian as to form and Lombardian as to ornament, and the basement is fitted up as a chapel...The monument consists of an imposing obelisk...its total height is 65ft. The sides of the obelisk are ornamented...with marble bas-reliefs, representing the Emperor Napoleon [and] Victor Emmanuel...there are four openings with a decoration in the form of a star. These openings, illuminated by a powerful lamp kept burning in the interior, give the monument by night the appearance of a light-house; so that by night, as well as by day, this memorial of Magenta will proclaim itself afar. Beneath the chapel...a large crypt has been reserved, wherein to receive the bones and mortal remains of the brave men who died in the cause of Italian liberty on the plain of Magenta'.
