A FIRST-RATE TAKING IN STORES...FARNLEY HALL COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS BY J.M.W. TURNER, R.A., 1865. CREATOR: W. J. LINTON.
A First-Rate Taking in Stores, from the Farnley Hall Collection of drawings by J.M.W. Turner, R.A., 1865. One of '...the admirable photographs, by Messrs. Caldesi and Co...from the collection of Turner drawings in the possession of Mr. F. H. Fawkes - the finest series of water-colour drawings by our great English landscape-painter belonging to any private gallery..."The First-Rate Taking in Stores," is...instanced by Mr. Ruskin as illustrating Turner's marvellous rapidity of execution as well as memory...It represents a section of the hull of a three-decker from stem to stern, her bows towards the spectator, with her tiers of portholes and guns, anchors and hawsers, part of her stern gallery, her chains and running and standing rigging to the lower spars all elaborately detailed, and as the whole would be seen towering...an ordinary boat; together with a couple of shore boats delivering stores, looking like toys against her huge flank; another running before the wind...The men-of-war and small craft, the sky; the sea, agitated by wind and tide, and fretting into foam against the swelling, inert, half-wet, and glistening mass of the great hull in the foreground - all seem equally studied directly from nature'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. A First-Rate Taking in Stores...Farnley Hall Collection of drawings by J.M.W. Turner, R.A., 1865. Creator: W. J. Linton.

THE DUTCH CHURCH, AUSTINFRIARS, RECENTLY RESTORED, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Dutch Church, Austinfriars, recently restored, 1865. 'The church, or chapel, [in Austin Friars, London] formerly belonging to the monastery of Augustine Friars, which was founded in 1243...was...granted by the King, in 1530, to a congregation of Dutch or German sojourners in London, "to have their service in, for avoiding of all sects of Ana-Baptists, and such like."...It has lately undergone a complete restoration, from the designs of a young architect, Mr. William Lightly...The present fabric is the nave only of the original building...The internal walls are of chalk, and have been carefully restored; the external facing is of Kentish rag, the restoration of which has also been completed. The window-tracery, where too much decayed to be retained, has been restored with new Portland stone, and all the windows have been reglazed with plain glass, by Messrs. Powell...The tie-beams which secure the walls together form an important feature of the design...The new interior fittings are all of oak, as are also the two vestries at the ends of the north and south aisles. The general works have been carried out by Messrs. Browne and Robinson; the oak fittings, by Mr. Spawl, of Norwich; the encaustic tile paving, by Mr. Godwin, of Hereford'.

SEULE À LA MAISON, BY C. BISSCHOP, IN THE EXHIBITION OF FRENCH AND FLEMISH ART, PALL-MALL, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
Seule à La Maison, by C. Bisschop, in the Exhibition of French and Flemish Art, Pall-Mall, 1864. Engraving of a painting. '"All Alone In Doors!"...[It depicts a] home made lonely and almost desolate by the absence of its natural head...The model of a quaint old Dutch ship seems to intimate that the trim, comely young Dutch woman has a mariner husband, who...provides this home for both by committing himself to the cruel and treacherous sea...We must not...allow our thoughts to carry us out over and beyond that frozen canal, along the silent surface of which this young wife looks for one that "cometh not" with such yearning, wistful earnestness...there are evidences - in the handsome marqueterie cabinet, in the looking-glass with the favourite ebony frame...in the piece of ornamental delf[t]...of moderate fortunes and a tolerably well-to-do position...Lastly, we must not forget to notice the skates, which have just been taken off; for by these...[we are] reminded of the almost incredible number of miles some of these Dutch women will skate along the canals ...when frozen in winter, carrying provisions to the market towns...she throws open the casement in the fond though groundless hope of still seeing the good man appear on the horizon'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Seule à La Maison, by C. Bisschop, in the Exhibition of French and Flemish Art, Pall-Mall, 1864. Creator: W Thomas.

THE EPISCOPALIAN CHURCH OF ST. MARY, CARDEN-PLACE, ABERDEEN, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Episcopalian Church of St. Mary, Carden-Place, Aberdeen, 1864. 'Our Engraving shows its external design, the merit of which belongs chiefly to the Rev. F. G. Lee who is an accomplished amateur architect; though he had the able professional assistance of Mr. Alexander Ellis. The building is principally in the middle-pointed style of Gothic architecture, with some of the details partaking of Italian and Scotch character...Externally, on the north and south sides, the large gables of the transepts, flanked on each side by projecting buttresses crowned by massive square pinnacles, mark the divisions of the church - the nave running westward, and the chancel to the east. The nave is divided into five bays by the clerestory windows, which are alternately circular and coupled lancets - three circular and two pairs of lancets on each side...The transepts externally present each a large circular window, 12 ft. in diameter, with four lancets underneath. The masonry, is rubble-granite, but the parts are marked by the use of bands of red and white freestone and black granite. These stones are also alternated in the formation of the circular and other windows and principal details throughout...The interior will accommodate between 700 and 800 persons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The Episcopalian Church of St. Mary, Carden-Place, Aberdeen, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE PHOTOGRAPHER, BY W. BROMLEY, IN THE EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
The Photographer, by W. Bromley, in the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'Look...at the little boys...How laughably they copy the mysterious proceedings and apparatus of a photographer! They have placed the music-stool on a chair, and...have constructed something which bears a general resemblance, in form, to a camera and stand...they have evidently posed the group to be photographed; and one boy, in mimicry of the "photographic artist," puts his head under a shawl and looks through the music tube in order to adjust the focus...The group to be photographed meanwhile enact their part very creditably. The girl, as befits her years, enters into the spirit of the performance...The little boy in her lap, however, discovers that apprehensiveness of something terrible and extraordinary going to happen which may be detected in the expressions of older folk when that formidable instrument of torture, the camera...is aimed at them for the first time...As regards the composition of this group, it is arranged more agreeably than we see similar subjects treated in the ordinary run of photographs; for it is in the "posing" of his unfortunate "patients" that the full-grown photographer generally fails'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The Photographer, by W. Bromley, in the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1864. Creator: W Thomas. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

BROMLEY COLLEGE, KENT, ESTABLISHED FOR THE WIDOWS OF CLERGYMEN: THE CHAPEL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Bromley College, Kent, established for the widows of clergymen: the Chapel, 1864. The new chapel, which '...has been erected by Mr. Muffett, of Bromley, from the design of Messrs. Waring and Blake, is of the Early Decorated period; which blends, not inharmoniously, with the later style of the rest of the college...The roof is of stained deal, high and pointed, with purlins, principals and intersecting collar-beams, and lacing pieces resting on heel posts and stone corbels. It is lighted by nine dormer windows, a construction which the peculiar position of the chapel, shut in at the west end by two houses, rendered necessary in order to obtain sufficient light. The walls are pierced by eight windows...filled with painted glass, executed by Mr. O'Connor, and are fine specimens of the rich colouring of that artist...They represent in one continued series the most eminent women of Scripture...The seats and desks are of handsomely carved oak: the floor is of encaustic tiles; the altar-cloth and cushions were worked by the ladies of the college...Of the 14,000 married clergymen in England a large proportion, it is to be feared, can leave their families, in case of death, no assured means of livelihood'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Bromley College, Kent, established for the widows of clergymen: the Chapel, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
