FOREST LEAVES, BY S. ANDERSON, IN THE EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS, 1864. CREATOR: W. L. THOMAS.
Forest Leaves, by S. Anderson, in the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'It is not...by the mere brilliancy of the colours...that a judge would think of estimating the artist's gift as a colourist, but rather by the clearness and truth of the tones in shadow; particularly...those of the boy's flesh, which have rare delicacy and purity. The title of this picture is suggested, of course, by the leaves fallen from the trees, which the girl, in her ramble in the neighbouring forest, has collected. Her eye has been attracted by their colour, dyed as they are with the richest hues of autumn. She has woven them into a wreath and placed it coquettishly upon her head. As she is kneeling, with the sun almost at her back, the rays of light, already splendidly tinctured with the rosy flush of sunset, pass through the coloured leaves and produce a beautiful effect, which cannot, of course, be rendered in our Engraving. The result is, that around the head the wreath of simple "forest leaves" seems like a "glory" or nimbus; and this, with the earnest gaze of her large, dilated eyes into the darkling blue of the sky opposite the setting sun, gives a spirituality to the figure of this little rustic maiden'.

NERO AFTER THE BURNING OF ROME, BY CARL PILOTY, IN THE LATE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1862. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
Nero after the Burning of Rome, by Carl Piloty, in the late International Exhibition, 1862. Engraving of a painting. '...the tyrant is represented stalking forth...to survey the desolation left by the flames, which still rage in the distance...he sweeps along without pity, horror, or remorse. Softly, like a prowling tiger, he treads over crumbling, tesselated pavement, and among fallen calcined capitals and architrave. There is a covert and furtive buoyancy in the bloated figure, which seems strangely belied by the rounded, unmanly, disproportionate arm hanging all so nerveless and flaccid. He is crowned with roses, and draped, as he was wont to appear in public, with white chamber robes of delicate texture, left trailing loosely...He is preceded by hard-featured, impassive, brutalised guards, and black slaves bearing torches, and followed by servile favourites and associates. Well may innocent little children quail and cower from the monster; well may mourners beside their dead relatives heap curses on his head. To the left of the foreground lie, among the charred ruins, a group of Christian martyrs...with the Imperial edict against the Christians fixed on the crossed timbers to which they are bound'.
