HARVEST-HOME AT BYWELL, NORTHUMBERLAND, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Harvest-Home at Bywell, Northumberland, 1865. 'The pleasant and rational custom of holding a village festival to accompany the due thanksgiving service in the parish church on the completion of harvest is spreading widely, of late years...[After the service at St. Peter's Church, Bywell,] ...all went in procession to the field where the dances and games were to take place, beginning with a country dance to the tune of "Corn Rigs," the next dance being a reel to the tune of "Speed the Plough." Running-races, hurdle-races, and leaping-matches, for such prizes as a pig, a spade, a flannel shirt, a wideawake hat, a knife, a teapot, and a pair of blankets, excited the valour and agility of the young men of Bywell; there was also a race of jumping in sacks, the prize for which, given by Mr. F. Ayton, was an elegant paraffin lamp, fit for the drawing-room table. At five o'clock there was a substantial tea, or what is called in the north "a thick tea," provided for the whole company in a spacious marquee erected near the school-house' depicted here.

GRAPE GATHERING NEAR NAPLES, BY A. DE CURZON, IN THE EXHIBITION OF FINE ARTS AT PARIS, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Grape Gathering near Naples, by A. De Curzon, in the Exhibition of Fine Arts at Paris, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'The subject of this picture, by an artist whose reputation has long been established, was suggested by Lamartine's "Graziella," a romance full of picturesque description fitted to inspire a painter of sentiment. The scene depicted is that in which Graziella is employed in grape-gathering with her two young brothers. The landscape portion of the tableau, though of secondary importance, has been painted with care, and faithfully represents a vintage scene at Procida, near Naples, where it is the custom, as indeed throughout Southern Italy, to train the vines up trees. Although the subject is simple, M. De Curzon has imparted such a truthful beauty to his figures that in gazing at his canvas we feel especially attracted to the contemplation of these charming Italian faces. The colouring of this picture has been admitted by all the critics to be of the first order of merit; and, altogether, M. De Curzon's "Vendange de Procida" may be looked upon as one of the rare examples of genius in the Salon of 1864'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Grape Gathering near Naples, by A.

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.

A LIGHT LOAD FROM THE LAST-REAPED FIELD, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

A light load from the last-reaped field, 1864. 'The custom of giving a supper to the harvest folk has been observed from time immemorial...The jollity of the season is universally felt, and a rollicking hilariousness is everywhere apparent. This is happily shown by our Artist...Two stalwart youths - the labour of the season well-nigh over - give themselves up to the intoxication of the time, and bear aloft a damsel as the lightest load and fairest sheaf from the last-reaped field. The girl does not seem quite at ease on her extemporised throne, nor do the children who look on at first enter fully into the joke. But they speedily will. The fair occupant will soon he accustomed to her seat of honour, and so get over the little trepidation which, in common with her sisters of more exalted rank, she naturally feels; and the flickering smile on the faces of the onlookers wall quickly broaden into a grin...Let us be thankful, in conclusion, to the Giver of all Good for having provided such a fund of enjoyment to his creatures in the simple exercise of their faculties; and may our labouring population have their toils more and more lightened by innocent mirth and graceful relaxation!'.

RUTH, BY A. JOHNSTON, FROM THE EXHIBITION OF THE BRITISH INSTITUTION, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.

Ruth, by A. Johnston, from the exhibition of the British Institution, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'The colouring of this picture is extremely vivid and effective; moreover, the beauty of the "subject" is of a highly attractive kind...In regard to this "Ruth" some might ask for a more Oriental physiognomy (according to modern notions), while others might prefer this more familiar type. Who shall tell us what facial character prevailed in the "country of Moab"?...The appropriateness of the expression of this figure must be judged of still more arbitrarily. Of one thing only the painter places us in certainty by the barley Ruth holds - which is, that he intended to represent the well-remembered incident of the beautiful Old Testament idyl, when the young widow, coming to the land of her adoption - the land of her poor and widowed mother-in-law, Naomi, whom she would not forsake - enters the fields of Boaz to glean at the barley harvest, thinking, peradventure, she might "find grace" in the eyes of her rich relative...it is sometimes forgotten that the first son borne by Ruth to Boaz after their marriage was the grandfather of King David, and of course, therefore, the descent is direct from Ruth to the mother of our Saviour'.
