SKETCHES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: HARRISON LAKE, WITH THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Sketches in British Columbia: Harrison Lake, with the Cascade Mountains in the distance, 1864. 'The View of Harrison Lake is taken from a small bay looking down that lake, about fifteen miles from Douglas. In the centre is an island eight miles in length, known as Long Island. In the distance are a portion of the Cascade Mountains and Mount Baker, an active volcano, situated in Washington Territory, which belongs to the United States. Both the shores of the lake and the islands are covered with rocks, amidst which is some stunted pine timber'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

THE WAR IN JAPAN: THE RED BATTERY OPENING FIRE ON THE CORVETTES, SEPT. 6, 1864. CREATOR: SMYTH.

The War in Japan: the Red Battery opening fire on the corvettes, Sept. 6, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. C. Wirgman, '...our Special Artist and Correspondent who was present on board one of the ships in the allied squadron during the attack upon the batteries of the Daimio Prince of Nagato, in the Strait of Simonosaki...The Coquette and the Tancrede continued until dark to maintain a conflict with the Red Battery (otherwise called "Battery No. 7 ")...this battery...at daybreak next morning opened fire upon the corvette squadron...Preparations were then made for landing. At nine o'clock precisely a force of about 1900 men, including the marines, engineers, and sailors, were put ashore...the enemy had taken shelter in a neighbouring wood, from which they fired upon our men...the signal of truce was hoisted all over the fleet, and it was understood that the Prince of Nagato had made his peace with the Allies...a Minister of Nagato...came off to the Admirals to demand the cessation of hostilities and draw up the bases of a convention, the principal arrangements of which are the following: The opening of the Strait of Simonosaki to the vessels of all nations; the batteries neither to be armed nor repaired'.

SCENES IN JAPAN: THE STRAIT OF SIMONOSAKI, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Scenes in Japan: the Strait of Simonosaki, 1864. 'The western entrance [to the Inland Sea], by the channel of Simonosaki, is at the narrowest part only a quarter of a mile broad. The scenery of its shores is varied and picturesque - the luxuriant vegetation reaching the water's edge around the base of the hills shown in our first Engraving. To the right is observed a very dangerous rock, situated in mid-channel; it is, however, well marked by a stone pillar. There is a tradition about this rock that in the early days of Japanese history, one of the Emperors having been murdered and his throne seized by the usurper, the infant heir of the rightful Sovereign was saved by a nurse; and she, in making her escape across the strait, was wrecked, but fortunately succeeded in reaching this rock, whence they were eventually rescued by some fishermen, and in due course the son recovered his father's throne. How far this tradition is really correct is, we believe, very doubtful. It may be remarked that the current runs very swiftly through this channel, and is of great assistance to the numberless junks which pass that way'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

This mountain, 11,000 ft. or 12,000 ft. high, and always crowned with snow, resembles the Peak of Teneriffe in its shape and position.

THE BAY OF FINLARIG, LOCH TAY, PERTHSHIRE, WITH THE MAUSOLEUM OF THE BREADALBANE FAMILY, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The Bay of Finlarig, Loch Tay, Perthshire, with the mausoleum of the Breadalbane family, 1862. 'The mausoleum, in which are now laid the mortal remains of the late Marquis of Breadalbane, little more than a year after the same sad ceremony was performed over those of the lamented Marchioness, is situated in a wooded promontory on the western shore of Loch Tay, Perthshire. The building is comparatively modern, surrounded by the ruins of Finlarig Castle, an ancient seat of the Breadalbane family, within whose ivy-covered walls lie many illustrious ancestors of the Campbell clan. The spot is most romantic in its position and associations: beneath hanging woods of beech and sycamore, and the more distant undulations of moor and mountain, the small unpretending chapel casts the reflection of its white walls upon the Bay of Finlarig. On Tuesday week the burial of their respected chieftain, performed with all the picturesque observances of a highland funeral, attracted a crowd of mourners of all classes, most of whom knew the worth of the late Marquis and had experienced his kindness'.

The port and city of Rio De Janeiro, 1864. 'The Alto do Imperador, or Hill of the Emperor...is about 3000 ft. high, and commands, as our readers will see, a very fine prospect over the Bay of Rio de Janeiro. The Rio and Petropolis Railway passes through the low ground in the middle distance; and Manà, the railway terminus and little port where the steamers touch to take in their passengers for Rio, should be nearly opposite the end of the long island on the near side of the bay. On the further side is the city of Rio de Janeiro, running along the coast to the foot of the distant mountains on the right; and beyond this again is the entrance to the bay and to the Atlantic Ocean'.

TIMBER BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER WAI-AU-UA, PROVINCE OF NELSON, NEW ZEALAND, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Timber bridge over the River Wai-Au-Ua, province of Nelson, New Zealand, 1864. 'The River Wai-au-ua (or Dillon) is the largest in the province of Nelson. In several places, when flooded, it is one mile in width, and it has always been the most dangerous obstacle to travelling on the inland road between the provinces of Nelson and Canterbury. The Provincial Government having voted the sum of £1500 for a horse-bridge, Mr. J. Blackett, the provincial engineer, prepared a plan of one, which was entirely novel in its conception, and which had one great recommendation - economy in construction. The only tender, however, put in for the erection was for £3200; the Government declined this, and placed the entire charge of the work in the hands of Mr. Henry Handyside, C.E., of Nelson, who has erected the bridge...The quantity of timber used was 30,500 ft. of black birch, which is a strong and durable wood...This ingenious structure reflects very great credit upon Mr. Blackett, the designer; and not less upon its enterprising builder. Mr. Henry Handyside, who had...no slight difficulties to contend with not the least of which was the high price of labour.' From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

LOCH ERICHT - A BRIGHT NIGHT, BY A. GILBERT - FROM THE LAST WINTER EXHIBITION, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.

Loch Ericht - a Bright Night, by A. Gilbert - from the last Winter Exhibition, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'Loch Ericht, or Erochd, though either not mentioned at all, or scarcely alluded to, in the ordinary tourists' handbooks for Scotland, is shown to possess sufficient attractions for the painter...it is a lake of considerable extent...the northern and longer portion lying in Perthshire, and the southern and shorter portion in the county of Inverness. Its waters are emptied into Loch Rannoch, which lies about five miles to the south, whence they flow through Loch Tummel into the River Tay. One reason why the lake is not a favourite with tourists and the compilers of guides for their use is its comparative inaccessibility. There is no road to Loch Ericht. It may most easily be visited at its southern extremity either from the head of Loch Rannoch, to which there is a road along that lake; or from the inn at Dalnacardoch, on the great north road. In either case, however...a weary extent of bog, muir, moss and mountain has to be traversed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Loch Ericht - a Bright Night, by A.

AUTUMN ON THE LAGO MAGGIORE, BY F. DILLON, IN THE EXHIBITION OF THE BRITISH INSTITUTION, 1864. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.

Autumn on the Lago Maggiore, by F. Dillon, in the Exhibition of the British Institution, 1864. Engraving of a painting. '...of all the painter's works...we really remember none painted with more charming gusto and hearty relish than the little piece we have engraved. It glows and palpitates with the glorious autumnal hues of the lovely Italian lago. The sunlight sleeps on the still lake...it drowsily trembles among the vine-leaves, but permeates many...in a shower of green and gold, ruby and bronze, like the chromatic chequers of stained glass; it flushes into orange the distant purple shore; it turns the blocks of the quay, broken as are the colours by reflections of the blue sky, into something beautiful almost, to the artist eye, as the opal or pearl. Well may the boatman moor his crazy battello, with its load of cool melons and gourds, screened from the hot sun by that ragged but picturesque awning, alongside the pier, and seek the far niente of the Italian's paradise prone on the earth, under the grateful shade of the pergola, exchanging the fierce blaze outside for the softer light of a sweetheart's loving eyes. And all these remindings of the sunny South, in subject and colour, are conveyed with a slight but happy facility of touch'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Autumn on the Lago Maggiore, by F.

PEARL-FISHING NEAR LOCH LUBNAIG, PERTHSHIRE, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Pearl-fishing near Loch Lubnaig, Perthshire, 1864. Engraving from a drawing by Mr. Clark Stanton. 'In some rural districts, the peasantry are making their fortunes by pearl-seeking for only a few hours a day. Many of the undemonstrative weavers and cobblers, whose residence is near a pearl-producing stream, contrive, in the early morning or after them usual day's work, to step out and gather a few handfuls of the pearl-containing mussels, in which they are almost sure to find a few pearls of more or less value. The pearl-fisher requires no capital to set him up in his trade; he needs no costly instruments, but has only to wade into the stream, put forth his hand, and gather what he finds. Mr. Unger even provides his pearl-gatherers with a waterproof dress, so that their labour may be as little detrimental to their health as possible...It is supposed that the lochs are the natural reservoirs of the pearl-mussel...A skilful operator opens the mussel with a shell, in order to avoid scratching the pearl; the opened fish is thrown into the water and there greedily devoured by the salmon and other fish so that those proprietors of streams who were becoming uneasy as to the effects of the pearl fishery on the salmon may set their minds at rest'.
