Annual Inspection of the Middlesex Industrial School at Feltham, 1865. 'The annual inspection of the school established at Feltham, near Hounslow,..."to make provision for the care, reformation, and education of juvenile offenders," took place on Wednesday week. Any boy of age between seven and fourteen who is convicted of any criminal offence may be committed to this school for a period of not less than one year and not more than three. The school is built and supported entirely at the cost of the county rate...The number of inmates averages about 560 boys, under the charge of thirty-three resident and thirteen non-resident officers...The cost of maintenance and management is at the rate of £20 per head. The inspection...showed that the school is in a very satisfactory state. The ordinary forenoon routine of teaching was strictly observed, while the different workshops were also kept busy till the dinner hour: after which the boys were paraded and marched to chapel, headed by the band, and saluting the company as they went past a flagstaff erected in the ground. After Divine worship they were assembled for singing, their vocal performances being directed by the master, who stood on a chair in front of the line'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

PARIS DEMOLITIONS - THE HOTEL DES HARICOTS, OR PRISON OF THE NATIONAL GUARD OF PARIS, 1864. CREATOR: THOMAS ROBERT MACQUOID.
Paris Demolitions - the Hôtel des Haricots, or prison of the National Guard of Paris, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by M. Felix Thorigny. View of '...the Hôtel des Haricots, as the prison is facetiously called by the members of the Garde themselves, by reason of the solemn item that figures in the tariff of condiments affixed to the wall of each cell - "Haricots blancs à la maitre d'hotel, 50 centimes."...The term of imprisonment extends from twelve hours to eight days...the prison being open at certain hours every day for the reception of "convicted visitors." The approaching extension of the station of the Orleans Railway will necessitate the demolition of the Hôtel des Haricots, and the consequent destruction of a large collection of drawings, paintings, and verses, drawn, painted, and inscribed on the walls of several of the cells, and signed by such names as Decamps, Gavarni, Gustave Doré, Daumier, Janet, Bertall, Théophile Gauthier, Henry Murger, Arsène Houssaye, Alfred de Musset, and a host of other celebrities who, even in their hours of punishment, contributed something towards the entertainment and instruction of future occupants'.

THE WAR IN AMERICA: FORT LAFAYETTE, THE FEDERAL BASTILLE FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS, 1862. CREATOR: SMYTH.
The War in America: Fort Lafayette, the Federal Bastille for political prisoners, 1862. 'The traveller to America who enters the beautiful harbour of New York...will observe, on the right hand in passing the channel known as "The Narrows," a solitary fort on an island at some distance from the shore...Our Engraving is taken from the water, near Staten Island...For the last fifteen months Fort Lafayette (like its sister forts in the harbours of Boston and Baltimore) [had] been filled with political prisoners...On the 27th of November, little more than three weeks after the triumphs of the Democrats in New York, it took the opportunity of "Thanksgiving," which is annually celebrated throughout the North on that day...to order the liberation of all political prisoners in Forts Lafayette, Warren, MacHenry, and Delaware. On that morning the gloomy gates wore opened and the prisoners were set free without stipulation or condition. Fort Lafayette at present contains only its customary garrison for the defence of the channel, and it is to be hoped will never again be employed for any less legitimate purpose...The fort is not of great value as a means of defence, having been almost superseded in utility by Fort Hamilton...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The War in America: Fort Lafayette, the Federal Bastille for political prisoners, 1862. Creator: Smyth. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
