LAYING OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE: SIR ROBERT PEEL ADDRESSING BYSTANDERS...AT VALENCIA, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable: Sir Robert Peel addressing the bystanders after the taking of the shore end of the cable to the Telegraph House at Valencia, 1865. Engraving from a sketch by Robert Dudley, showing '...Sir Robert Peel, Chief Secretary to the Government of Ireland, and Lord John Hay...as well as Mr. Glass, the managing director of the Telegraph Construction Company (and manufacturer of the main length of cable)...The end of the cable was taken up by Mr. Glass and handed to Sir Robert, who passed it through a hole...in the building which forms...the station, where it was speedily connected with the batteries in the instrument-room. A signal was then interchanged with the Caroline, proving that the electric communication was perfect. Three cheers for the Queen were called for...and given with Irish warmth. The Knight of Kerry briefly addressed the large concourse of ladies and gentlemen, yeomen and peasantry...[and] expressed his gratification at this auspicious commencement of the work, and called for three cheers for the Atlantic Telegraph Cable, and...for Sir Robert Peel...[who] spoke, with his wonted energy, of the political, social, and commercial benefits which would be secured if the cable should prove successful'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. Laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable: Sir Robert Peel addressing bystanders...at Valencia, 1865. Creator: Unknown.

INFANT ORPHAN ELECTION AT THE LONDON TAVERN - POLLING, BY G.E. HICKS..., 1865. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
Infant Orphan Election at the London Tavern - Polling, by G.E. Hicks, in the exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1865. Engraving of a painting. The picture is '...essentially pathetic and dramatic in the contrasts it presents, and yet one that is not devoid of food for innocent humour...an opportunity is afforded for obeying the Divine injunction to "Remember the widow and the fatherless," and at the same time for enjoying all the excitement of a political contest...What an irresistible sensation header might be borrowed from one of the placards in this picture by some great unknown candidate: "No father, no mother! Second application!"...Seriously, however, this picture has much that is pathetic as well as humorous...we must not ignore the strong under-current of sadness which must be experienced on witnessing such a scene as this...only a small proportion of those applicants can be elected. This, if we read the picture aright, is plainly intimated by the anxiety of the young widow to the left, though well supported, and by that of others elsewhere, but still more in the heartbroken disappointment depicted in the attitude and expression of the poor woman to the right, with her unconscious child playing at her side'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. Infant Orphan Election at the London Tavern - Polling, by G.E. Hicks..., 1865. Creator: W Thomas. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

TWO NESTORIANS AT THE STRANGERS’ HOME FOR ASIATICS, LIMEHOUSE, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Two Nestorians at the Strangers' Home for Asiatics, Limehouse, 1862. Priest Yohanan (John)...had heard of the Turkish Missions Aid Society...the idea struck him that if the...condition of his people [ie extreme poverty] were more widely known in England help would be forthcoming...he set out for England on foot..."without purse or scrip"...attended by Deacon Yiskhak (Isaac)...When we add that Yohanan is sixty-two years of age, and knows only a few words of English, the strong faith or love of adventure which animated the old man, who previous to 1861 had never wandered beyond his native plain, becomes apparent...[They] crossed the Caucasus, wandered over the Steppes of Russia...they arrived [in London] the first Nestorians who ever visited this island...Priest John's discourse is thoroughly primitive and Oriental, and evinces an intimate acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures...[He has] features of the highest Syrian type...The deacon is...of a sallower complexion...The evangelical section of the British public...will probably desire to become more nearly acquainted with these interesting strangers who appeal to our sympathies both as representatives of a primitive Christian Church and as footsore wanderers from the shores of the Caspian'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Two Nestorians at the Strangers’ Home for Asiatics, Limehouse, 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

FETE GIVEN BY THE PRINCE IMPERIAL TO POOR CHILDREN OF PARIS IN THE TUILERIES GARDENS, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Fete given by the Prince Imperial to poor children of Paris in the Tuileries Gardens, 1864. 'The officials of the Emperor's household had caused provision to be made for the gratification of a large number of visitors, both old and young. A long line of tables, spread with white damask, with store of cakes and wine upon them, extended in front of the terrace...The waiters in attendance were servants in the Imperial livery, with the addition of a few soldiers...There were various amusements, such as an exhibition of tightrope performances, merry-go-rounds, puppet- shows, Punch and Judy (in the French version of Polichinelle)...This pleasant scene of popular festivity beneath the stately trees of the palace gardens is portrayed in our Engraving...The Emperor, the Empress, and Princess Clotilde were present, walking quietly through the crowd. The little Prince remained there for nearly two hours. The gardens were, of course, full of people, though a charge of 5f. was imposed for their admission by ticket, and none were allowed to enter without leading some children by the hand. The money raised by this means must have brought a considerable augmentation to the funds of the Children's Loan Society'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

ON THOUGHTS OF CHARITY INTENT, BY MISS E. BROWNLOW - FROM THE FEMALE ARTISTS' EXHIBITION, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
On Thoughts of Charity Intent, by Miss E. Brownlow - from the Female Artists' Exhibition, 1864. A '...charming little picture, very effectively painted by Miss Emma Brownlow...It is particularly to be observed that the Norman or Breton peasant girl...is a very young and a very little personage. We may see, as she stands in her thick wooden sabots, that her quaint white cap rises hardly above the poor-box into which bigger folk drop their alms in passing, and that the great hinge of the church door is nearly half as tall as she is; but these are the only objects with which her height is to be measured. It is the more essential to remark the juvenility of the little maiden, because her cap - to English eyes an old-fashioned one - her womanly dress and housewifely pocket, her kindly thoughtfulness - feeling, as she does, for perhaps her only sou or liard - seem all beyond her years. It is understood that our little heroine has gone to matins or to mass, or to say her prayers to the Virgin in some quiet side-chapel, all alone; and, as she leaves the house of God, this little Christian "remembers the poor." Examples for so doing she has had in plenty. Our Roman Catholic neighbours do not let the spider's web form over the hole of the poor-box'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

THE COTTON FAMINE: DISTRIBUTING TICKETS FOR BREAD, SOUP, MEAT, MEAL, COAL ETC, MANCHESTER, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Cotton Famine: distributing tickets for bread, soup, meat, meal, coal etc, at the office of a district provident society, Manchester, 1862. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. Starving Lancashire textile workers queue for food and fuel. 'The soup-kitchen of the Society of Friends at the lower end of Mosley-street...was opened on the 8th of April, and has been in constant operation since...[View of] the antechamber to the kitchen, which is shown below. Here the distribution commences at eight o'clock, and a number of the Friends personally superintend the operation. A large proportion of tickets in exchange for which it is given are purchased by the various relief societies of the town for gratuitous distribution, as part of their relief, in addition to bread and meat. The arrangements are very complete. At present 1000 gallons a day can he made, and that quantity could be largely increased at a small outlay. The actual quantity delivered last week was 17,246 quarts, and the previous week 16,884. In addition to the amount sunk every week, the soup-committee have made considerable grants in soup-tickets to the Provident Society, the City Mission, Ragged School, and other public bodies'.
