Hemy Lent by Messrs. Graves & Co. The Kent , an East Indiaman, left the Downs 19th February, 1825, bound for Bombay. In the Bay of Biscay she encountered a dreadful storm 28th February. On the next day she took fire and all were in expectation of perishing, either by the tempest or the flames. The Cambria — an outward bound ship — providentially hove in sight, and nearly all on board were saved. 2 The Destruction of Carthage P. F. Poole , R.A~ Lent by T. Johnson, Esq. 2 3 The Alarm Charles Stuart Lent by Charles Wightman, Esq. 4 Harvest Time Vicat Cole, R.A. Lent by Mrs. J. Henry. A cornfield, [in Surrey, at harvest-time. To the right is Ewhurst Hill, and far beyond, Black Down pushes its shadowy headland into Sussex Weald. In the centre of the pi<5ture, a little streak of light shews where the sun is glinting upon Vachery Water — and in the furthest distance, glimpses can be had of the Sussex Downs. The spot is one of the most beautiful in England, and the artist has tried to transfer on to his canvass some of its pageantry and summer dreaminess, a task doomed always a failure — though here to a failure exquisite enough. 5 Sweet is Evening’s Tranquil Hour David Murray, A. R.A. Lent by C. T. Harris, Esq. In this charming pastoral a girl is listening to a shepherd boy who sits on a gnarled bough, piping. The evening light catches her face and the pink kerchief on her head and tinges the skin of the cow against which she is lean- ing. Around her are old fruit trees, their blossoms bright at this quiet hour. Sheep are peacefully scattered about the grassy land in familiar companionship with the figures, a scene of tranquility. The well worn pathway leads sharply off to the left and is lost in the distance. Cold grey clouds advance slowly towards the last flood of golden daylight, against which the windmill is seen with its sails now still after the day’s work. One is conscious in this picture of the last parting gleams of day. 6 Lime Kiln at Cullarn Keeley Halswelle Lent by James Mason, Esq. The lime-kiln has stood for generations by the weir, on the edge of the wind-swept moor — and has swallowed up in its fur- nace tree after tree that has been felled to feed it. Here we have a gray dismal scene without a touch of sun or warmth to relieve it. The sky only tells of variety and movement, and we seem to see the masses of cloud alter their shapes as we look. Keeley Halswelle was a painstaking artist, by whose early death the world lost much. 3 7 “ Pour les Pauvres ” W. F . Yeames , R.A. Lent by James Mason, Esq. 8 Battle of Ligny E. Crofts Lent by James Mason, Esq. Napoleon’s last victory. Escaping from Elba, February 20th, 1815, Napoleon was able on June 12th to march with a large army towards the Belgian frontier, where Wellington and Blucher had stationed them- selves. Advancing with great secrecy, he succeeded in throwing himself between the English and Prussian armies, and turning fiercely on the latter, defeated them at Ligny, June 16th. Though forced to retire, Blucher was enabled to rejoin the English towards the evening of the 18th, when his timely arrival finally decided the crowning victory of Waterloo. “ Again their ravening eagle rose In anger, wheeled on Europe-shadowing wings And barking for the thrones of kings, Till one that sought but duty’s iron crown On that loud Sabbath struck the spoiler down.” g “ At the Bar ” Fred Walker Lent by Prof. S. Thompson. The sombre tones and shadow of the picture help us to feel the terror and helplessness of the solitary soul behind the bar, guarded by the grim and silent jailor whose head appears in the left corner of the pidure. The light falls upon the woman’s face displaying her guilt and despair. Her crime, whatever it maybe, has brought its own punishment, and her anguished face haunts the spedator, like a fearful dream. 10 Many Waters cannot quench Love J . Walter West Lent by the Artist. 11 The Virgin, Child and St. John Botticelli Lent by “A Friend.” Botticelli was an early Italian painter. He was apprenticed when a lad to a goldsmith, and this picture is characteristic of two faculties derived from his early training : first his use of gold to enrich the light ; and secondly, the invention and delicacy with which he treated all details and ornaments (as here in the ornaments and dresses). The picture is full of a tender melancholy, which attracts us, we hardly know why. \ 4 12 God’s Shrine H. Herkomer, R.A. Lent by Alexander Young, Esq. 4 ‘ God dwells in the high and lofty place, and also in humble, longing hearts.” This seems to be the idea of the artist as he makes us feel the might and majesty of the untouched mountains, and then draws us to think of weary men and women who have built a shrine in their midst for the worship of the crucified Saviour. Notice the power with which the artist represents the solidity of the rock amid the light movements of the clouds. Where nature is so stern and unapproachable, man is weak and poor. The peaceful valleys are easily tilled and subdued by man, and there he builds rich and vast Cathedrals to God’s glory. Here, in the mountains, he can only build a lowly shrine, but perhaps he sees and knows more of God’s greatness and trusts in His love. 13 Prince Henry and Judge Gascoyne Glindoni Lent by James Mason, Esq. Prince Henry (afterwards the great vidtor of Agincourt), according to an universally accepted tradition, spent a wild youth in the company of riotous friends, who were continually indulging in excesses and defying the law. On one occasion, the story goes, one of their companions, having robbed a king’s officer, was brought up before Gascoyne, the Lord Chief Justice. Prince Henry, attended by his dis- orderly followers, entered the court and demanded the release of the criminal. On Gascoyne's refusal, he boxed the judge’s ears, who at once committed him to prison for contempt of court. The prince quietly submitted, and is said to have rewarded the judge when he afterwards became king. On hearing of the incident, the old king, Henry IV., thanked God that he had a judge who dared to administer the laws, and a son wise enough to submit to them. Pretty as the tale is, it is much to be feared that it is apocryphal. 14 Tobit Mrs . Benham Hay Lent by Messrs. Wallis & Son. 1 5 Down Channel F. Emanuel Lent by the Artist. 16 The Return of the Prodigal Mrs . Benham Hay Lent by Messrs. Wallis & Son. 5 17 The Port of Amsterdam L. Backhuysm Lent by Walter J. Abraham, Esq. 1 8 The Gambler’s Wife Marcus Stone Lent by G. McCulloch, Esq. 19 “ Driven by the Wind and Tossed” P. Graham, R. A * Lent by Messrs. Agnew. A masterpiece. By this piXure, we, in the midst of Whitechapel, are lifted into the heart of the storm — we see the waves as they shake their heads in the wind and laugh aloud in their power. We almost hear the wind as it tosses sea and sky together. We feel ourselves glorying in the triumph of the strong, and forget to pity the man who dared to cross its path. 20 New Year’s Eve Frank Walton , RJ. Lent by C. T. Harris, Esq. An English landscape in the golden glow of a winter sunset, broad lines of amber lying just above a richly coloured distant hill. To the right is a low breadth of sedgy ground, through which runs a stream with reflexions in it of the golden sky, and between the stream and the road that winds to the left of the piXure, is a group of leafless trees, their feathering branches reaching out against the bright light beyond. 21 The Mirror of Time A. Macgregor Lent by the Artist. 22 Evening Peter Graham, R.A . Lent by G. McCulloch, Esq. 4 4 The lowing herd winds slowly o’er the lea” — but it is a Scotch and not an English hill-side, and the cattle are shag- haired Highland bullocks with huge horns. Above the green gloom of the hill-side the light of the vanishing sun strikes the thin fleeces of cloud and turns them into purple and crimson. Higher up is some blue sky, and daylight still lingers. 23 In the Birch Woods, Arran. Morning. J. McWhirter, R.A . Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. 6 24 After Life’s Storms a Peaceful Haven H . A . Oliver Lent by the Artist. 25 A Market in Egypt J. Farquharson Lent by Messrs. Agnew. In Egypt the sun shines every day ; it never rains and snow is unknown. It is pleasant therefore to live out of doors. The artist has chosen to depict a scene at the fair which is annually held on the banks of the Nile. On the left sits a woman, her stock-in-trade of oranges before her, to which she draws attention in a hard, nasal voice. A good Mohammedan near her reads the Koran, his holy book or Bible, and keeps the slippers of those who have gone to pray barefoot in the Temple. By his side sits the merchant selling a bit of fine muslin to a young girl. The beggar woman carrying her child on her shoulder, has taken this opportunity to ask for alms, which, however, he is courteously refusing. The water-carrier is in much demand ; he has filled the child’s cup, and when the sheep driver turns, he will be ready to quench his thirst “ without money and without price.” The man in the fore- ground is dressed, just as Abraham or Lot must have been, in a long woollen robe or burnous, which is worn in different ways according to the weather. The mud huts are the homes of this great crowd, the palms are their wealth, the minaret the outward and visible sign of the aspiration, which, in one form or another, goes up from all the nations of the world. 26 A Lake in the Tyrol The Hon. Robt. Collier Lent by Lord Monkswell. This and Nos. 65 and 96 are very careful pi< 5 tures of the lofty mountains of Switzerland, in the Tyrol. Some of the mountains here painted are twelve or thirteen thousand feet high, nearly four times as high as the highest mountain in England. No trees grow above 7000 feet, and only pine trees as high as that ; a thousand feet higher all grass has disappeared, and soon after that snow and ice begin, and stay without melting, all the year round. To climb these peaks needs a cool head, a stout rope and a good guide. 27 Wine and Song Munkacsy Lent by J. S. Forbes, Esq. Munkacsy is a great Hungarian artist ; he feels sympathy with all forms of life. We have enjoyed his pictures several times. His *• Lint-pickers” taught us the sadness of war; his “ Christ before Pilate ” realised for us the triumph of good. 7 Here we see him in a different mood : — A tired soldier is enjoying a draught of cool wine and the song of the inn- keeper’s gentle daughter. The main interest of the pi show us the characters of both man and animal. One soldier urges but does not irritate — another flogs with brutal frequency — a third cruelly drags at the string fastened into the delicate skin of the creature’s nose — while one black brute of a man, having angered his beast until it turns to retreat, is belabouring it with whip, heel and arm. The picture, as a picture, is marvellous in its execution The sandy dust, the pale heat of the cloudless sky, the move- ment, the perspective, the harmonious and yet vivid colouring, all unite to make a masterpiece of art. 9 35 The New Whip C. Burton Barber Lent by W. Baker, Esq. (For Children.) She is not frightened of the many brown doggies, and there is no need that she should be, for they are kind and tender, though both rough and strong. Well trained dogs are frightened of the whip, but as she holds it they don’t seem to understand that it is the whip they generally fear, and one rubs his black nose against it as if it were a friend. How the artist must love both little children and dogs, to paint both so well and so prettily ! 36 Fujiyama, the sacred Mountain of Japan Alfred East Lent by the Artist. Day is breaking — dim, continual, over the crown of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain of Japan. The shadows still invest the reedy swamp which spreads across the foreground, and beyond it the first dark ridges seem still unconscious of the rising sun. Here is all the tenderness of day-spring — the slow, incessant, upward flowing of the light — the quietness belonging always to that momntain which men called holy, ages since. 37 Perfect Bliss Sir J . E. Millais , R.A . Lent by Messrs. Agnew. 38 His First Lesson Harriette Sutcliffe Lent by the Artist. (For Children.) He is trying very hard, and the old lady who is teaching, is both patient and gentle. The little sister has forgotten both book and toys, while she listens and enjoys every note, whether it is true or false. The old-fashioned clothes and the quaint furniture tells us that the “ first music lesson” took place many years ago, when grandpapa and grandmamma were little children. 39 Abingdon Vicat Cole, R.A . Lent by G. McCulloch, Esq. An emigrant would prize such a picture as this to remind him of the old country, and its village life, where quiet reigns, hurry is unknown, and boy and beast have leisure to enjoy. The longer one looks at the picture, the more admirable will it he found in workmanship. The accuracy of each detail brings the whole into harmony. The recent rain has left the sky weary, as it often does after a long downpour. But the 10 moisture has lent colour to the roofs, and we see the varied browns of the bridge all the better because of the damp. The river catches the pale glory of the sky, and like a whisper of sympathy bids it rest. Even the barge, the only link with the busy world, moves softly. 40 The Meuse at Dordrecht J. L. Henry Lent by the Artist. After many miles past hills and woods, gardens, villas and castles, all through Belgium, the River Meuse finds its way to the sea across the flats of Holland. Here it is at “ Sleepy Dordrecht,” as some people call it ; but when the wind is blowing and the numerous windmills are making a brisk business of grinding corn, or pumping water, the whole country- side seems alive and moving. It is just such a day that the artist has painted ; big clouds sailing about the sky, the water lapping in the reeds on the right bank, the windmills waving their arms, and the flags streaming from the mastheads of the barges. 41 An Anxious Moment Walter C . Horsley Lent by Patrick Ness, Esq. The Ethiopian guardian sleeps, and the beauty of the harem seizes on the opportunity of escape. A dangerous attempt ; for should she be discovered, death by drowning in a sack may be her portion. 4 2 Palm Sunday G. W. Joy t Lent by the Artist. 43 Twilight Prof. Heffner Lent by Messrs. Wallis & Son. 44 King Arthur carried to the land of Enchantment W. B. Scott , H.R.S.A. Lent by T. Johnson, Esq. 11 Then those three Queens Put forth their hands, and took the King, and wept But she, that rose the tallest of them all And fairest, laid his head upon her lap, And loosed the shattered casque, and chafed his hands, And called him by his name, complaining loud, And dropping bitter tears against a brow Striped with dark blood.’ II 45 Between Two Fires F. D . Millet Lent by the Royal Academy (Chantrey Bequest) 46 Adeline G . Sheridan Knowles , F./. “ Wherefore those dim looks of thine ? Shadowy, dreaming Adeline ! ” Tennyson. Lent by the Artist. 47 A Night School Edgar Bundy , R.I • Lent by the Artist. 48 Naples G. F. R.A . Lent by the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates. “ See Naples and die ” is an old saying which means that there is nothing more beautiful in the world to see. For those who can’t see Naples (and don’t want to die), the next best thing is to see this beautiful pidture of it by a master-hand. It is, as the painter shows it us, a city of infinite colours, lying beside the deepest of blue green seas, the smoking mountain right behind it, and lines of purple hills stretching far out into the bay. A city more beautiful to look on from without than to see within, for the people are poor and their houses dirty ; they live crowded together in the steep streets and even the hot sun hardly pierces their rooms. Ten years ago, the cholera swept them away by thousands. As Mr. Watts has painted it, Vesuvius is throwing up clouds of smoke, staining the sky and throwing gloom over half the city. Yet Naples lies safe from its eruptions. Away on the other side of the mountain is the ancienc city of Pompeii, which was destroyed and laid buried for 1880 years under the lava, but which is now uncovered and is one of the marvels of the world. Here we see how people lived all those years ago. We can walk down their streets, see their wheel-marks in the road, enter their houses, shops, temples, see their food, as it was cooked for their last meal, their tools, their ornaments, their furniture and their dishes. 49 French Flower Girls J . H. S. Mann Lent by T. Johnson, Esq. (For Children.) These tw’O little French children have a holiday, and are trying to sell the flowers they grow in their sunny garden. See how differently their frocks are made to those of English little girls. The bigger girl is using her dress for an umbrella. 50 Dartmouth Harbour David Murray , A, R.A. Lent by the Artist. 12 5 * 52 The Return of the Lifeboat T. R. Mi ! es Lent by Silvanus P. Thompson, Esq. “ The Light that never was on Sea or Land ” Corot Lent by Alexander Young, Esq, Everywhere the unseen is more than the seen, and it is the glory of artists to make people feel what their eyes cannot see. Those who study this picture will understand how rich is every spot of God’s world, how full of voices the quiet sky, how vast the world in which we move. Artists who paint such pi&ures teach man “ How boundless might his soul’s horizon be, How vast, yet of what clear transparency ! How it were good to live there, and breathe free ; How fair a lot to fill Is left to each man still ! ” Corot is the greatest of modern French landscape painters ; his chief excellencies are : — (i) his power of producing the effedl he desires with the least possible display of effort ; (2) his harmonious and subdued colouring; in none of his pictures will be found one crude or glaring combination of colour ; and (3) his absolute truth to nature, as nature is seen by the artist. Can anyone doubt that this picture was painted in the open air, and not in a studio? and that the artist felt as well as saw the tender, misty light of the still evening ? 53 Lilies Ever ton Sainsbury Lent by Mrs. Sainsbury. 54 Portrait of De Witt, Grand-Pensioner of Holland, 1625-1672. Cornelius Janssens- Lent by Mrs. Browne. For twenty years, from 1653 to 1672, the Grand-Pensioner De Witt was chief ruler of Holland. He led the aristocratic and republican against the popular and monarchical party, which ceptred round the person of William of Orange, after William III. or England. The disastrous invasion of Holland by the French, in 1672, popularly attributed to the weak policy of De Witt, caused a sudden revulsion of feeling, which placed William of Orange at the head of the national resistance. Abandoned to the hate of his enemies, De Witt was barbarously murdered by an enraged mob, August 20th, 1672. In spite of many faults,. De Witt ranks as one of the greatest men Holland produced in the greatest period of its history. 13 55 The Gamblers Orselli Lent by Messrs. Wallis & Son. 56 Sea Mists, Cardigan Bay J. Brett, A.R.A. Lent by the Artist. 57 The Inn Courtyard Lent by Messrs. Wallis & Son. 58 A Burgomaster Lent by Mrs. Browne. 59 The Last of Autumn Lent by P. Michaud, Esq. 60 Union is Strength Briton Riviere , R.A . Lent by H. J. Turner, Esq. (For Children.) The dog cannot be a shepherd’s dog, or he would know that he had only to bark and the sheep would do his bidding ; united they frighten him ; a fair return for the numberless times his kith and kin have bullied them. The heads and coats of the sheep, and their dumb, unintelligent stare are painted with pi&uresqueness and power. 61 The Outskirts of Amsterdam F . Emanuel Lent by the Artist. 62 A Fool and his Folly Briton Riviere , R. A . Lent by H. J. Turner, Esq. The Fool on his donkey appearing on the edge of the dark forest, and shouting and flourishing his bladder of dried peas, has scared and scattered the imposing cavalcade of majestic war horses, with their steel clad riders. The skill of the Artist is shown in the wonderful drawing of the horses as they rush madly down the hill. 63 Maud J. Hanson -Walker Lent by the Artist. 64 Gently Heaving Tide Peter Graham , R.A . Lent by Sir J. F. Buxton. Orselli Van der Vliel Mark Fisher 14 65 The Wetter Horn The Hon . Roht. Collier Lent by Lord Monkswell. 66 “ A Little Help is Worth a Deal of Pity ” Frank Hyde Lent by the Artist. 67 A War Dance in Servia P. Joanawich Lent by C. T-. Harris, Esq. A man dances with wild vigour, while about a dozen others , stand round. The various expressions are rendered with great force, the curious costumes showing fine colouring. It is described by the following lines of a Servian song : “ Fired with applause his soul with ardour glows And ’gainst the foe he deals out mimic blows, Wild whoops and cries urge on his willing feet, And each fierce bound with frenzied joy they greet.” 68 Monkey and Fruit Lance Lent by George Donaldson, Esq. 69 Bubbles Sir J . E. Millais , R.A. Lent by Messrs. Pears & Sons. “ Blowing bubbles ” is an expression often used of men who pursue fleeting pleasures which perish as soon as grasped. But to the little boy, the bubbles are a reality and he feels all the joy of success if they rise out of his reach without bursting. His earnest, upturned face has a pathos of its own, a thought that “ lies too deep for tears.” 70 A Common, Picardy A Mauve Lent by the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates. 71 War Time. Tam is dead, and all the world is drear ” Briton Riviere , R.A . Lent by E. N. Buxton, Esq. The newspapers tell the shepherd of his son’s death in battle. The grey sky looks down on his sorrow, and the dogs share their master’s grief. He will turn just now, and their dumb sympathy will give him better comfort than many words. One of them has stayed, by the gate and looks at his master as if to remind him of the forgotten crook which rests against the wall ; 15 the other does not dare to fondle, though he would fain help his friend. This is the way in which true artists, whether painters or poets, describe the terrors of war. They do not give every dreadful detail ; but while really telling us all the story that could be so told, they give it beauty and pathos, and they impress it upon us the more by leaving something to our imagination. 72 Aspasia Henry Holiday Lent by the Artist. 73 Daedalus and Icarus Sir Fredk . Leighton , P.R.A . Lent by Alexander Henderson, Esq. The Greek story tells how Daedalus was the great inventor of old days. He made wings by which he caused his son Icarus to fly, but he fastened them on with wax, and when the boy flew too near the sun, the wax melted, and he fell into a gulf of the sea, which after him was called the Icarian Sea. Here, standing on the Temple roof, from which a statue of the Goddess of Wisdom looks down on the city, Icarus is shown preparing to fly. Contrast the eager hope of the beautiful boy as he stands ered in the sunshine ready to mount into the blue ether, with the trembling anxiety of his father, who is binding on the wings, conscious of what loss failure will bring to him. 74 In Bavaria Windmaier Lent by the Rev. S A. Thompson Yates. 75 In a Fix A. W. Strutt Lent by G. McCulloch, Esq. (For Children.) She really is a gentle kindly old lady, and, as a rule, she and Neddy understand each other’s wishes, and ad accordingly. But this time she is really angry. It is too vexatious of him to stop just in the middle of the pool, for she will be late for market, and the buyers won’t wait for her goods. Her anger rises, and she rises and Neddy will soon feel the strength of her arm. The geese in the pool are glad of the chance of saying good-bye to their relations who cackle messages with loud voices. The cock, too, crows farewell to the hens and chickens at home— but this does not affed the donkey who is quietly thinking behind his big ears of taking a real bath and lying down just where he is. Will he ? 76 Dogs and Game Lent by W. Baker, Esq. James Hardy i6 77 A Pedlar of Cairo Walter C. Horsley Lent by the Artist. In Egypt, the sunshiny climate allows the people to live a great deal out of doors, smoking, chatting, playing, bargaining. The buyer is evidently chaffing the seller, who is in danger from the donkey. Note the different dresses of the four men, indicating their social position. 78 Palm Sunday Villegas Lent by G. McCulloch, Esq. The Venetian church is gorgeous with colour and mosaic- - the children gaily dressed, with palms, some natural, some made of plaited straw, march in procession. Note the delicate painting of the details of the picture, the faces of the clergy, the marble floor strewn with leaves, the flowers of the children’s garlands. All are absorbed in themselves or each other — none seem to remember that they are performing an a<5t of worship. 79 The Priests’ Holiday J. B. Burgess , R.A. Lent by G. McCulloch, Esq. 80 Portrait of a Lady G. 5 . Watson Lent by T. Davey Brown, Esq. A true lady, gentle and dignified, and sweet of face is this. A woman in her natural grace, Not trammelled she by lore of school Courteous by nature not by rule, Warm-hearted and of cordial face. 8r The Five Foolish Virgins S. P. Cockerell Lent by the Artist. Too late ! Too late ! They clad themselves in wedding garments; they brought garlands of flowers ; but they had forgotten their duty — which was to trim their lamps — and so they were shut out. “ Late, late, so late ! and dark the night and chill ! Late, late, so late ! but we can enter still. Too late, too late ! ye cannot enter now.” *7 82 Carnival Scene Longhi Lent by Sir Charles Turner. Carnival time is just before Lent, when people in Roman Catholic countries fast and give up pleasures. Therefore, during Carnival they make themselves very merry, and all turn out of doors to play the fool in the streets. *83 Landscape with Cattle and Figures Nicolas Bevchem Lent by T. Johnson, Esq. -84 Idleness Prentts Lent by Dr. J. H. Gladstone ■85 The Old Man and Death Wright of Derby Lent by the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates. •86 1793 J. Blake Wirgman Lent by the Artist. The subject here is full of “ tragic pathos and passionate pity.” Dealing with the most terrible period of modern history, it deliberately selects a moment of anguish hardly to be equalled amongst the other cruelities of the French Revolution. During the great upheaval in La Vendee, before the con- demned were led out to their execution by drowning, the poor Royalist ladies were offered their choice, as a crowning mercy, as to whether their children should perish with them or be given into the hands of Republican foster-mothers to be tended and reared. The distracted women had thus to choose as to whether their little ones should die, or whether they should be brought up to forswear their parents in hatred of the race from which they sprang, and in scorn and horror of its principles and traditions. In this prison scene Mr. Wirgman has depi&ed the mental struggle in which many consented to give their babies to life, while others, having yielded them up, distrusted the future, and passionately demanded that they should be given back. .87 Sea-piece and Shipping Koek-Koek Lent by J.

F. Ziesel Lent by Mrs. Browne. 105 Flower Piece G. F. Ziesel Lent by Mrs. Browne. 106 Queen Henrietta Maria School of Vandyck Lent by J. Hanson Walker, Esq. Henrietta Maria, daughter of the famous Henry IV., King of France, and wife of Charles I. of England. She was a beautiful and high spirited woman, but her attachment to the Roman Catholic Church made her very unpopular in England. She was universally suspedted ot inciting her husband to some of his most arbitrary adtions. In 1644, when the fortunes of war were turning against Charles, she left England, only to return for a short time at the Restoration. She died in the convent of Chaillot in 1669. 107 Industry Prentis Lent by Dr. j. H. Gladstone. 108 Glenorchy, Argyle G. Fripp Lent by Miss E. Craig Sellar. A scene of Highland solitude. Far as the eye can see there is no trace of man or his works. A trout stream winds down the valley foaming over the rocks ; the silence is only broken by the music of its ripples and eddies. The fir trees are bowed before the might of the mountain wind. To the left, where the moor slopes downward to the stream, a stag stands eredt with branching antlers, listening intently. Another lies close beside him. Further, a dim Scotch mist is creeping down the moun- tain side, and lies along the valley like pale smoke. Where the white mists for ever Are spread and unfurl’d, In the stir of the forces Whence issued the world. 20 109 Weymouth Harbour C. S. MotUanv Lent by R. C. Netting, Esq. no Moel Siabod (N. Wales) * S. G. W. Roscoe Lent by R. C. Netting, Esq. in The Shrine of Venus L. Alma-Tadema, R.A. Lent by E. A. Raphael, Esq. At the shrine of Venus, the priestesses of the goddess sold flowers and cosmetics to women. We see them flocking to buy, hoping, by making it a religious a<5t, to secure the favour of the Goddess of Beauty. Note the exquisite painting of marble, and draperies, and flowers, and the lazy languor of the priestesses, dreaming only of their own beauty, in contrast with the eager excitement of the women outside. 1 12 Cave at Freshwater Helen Allingham • Lent by the Artist. 1 13 The Meeting Briton Riviere , R.A*. Lent by H. J. Turner, Esq. (For Children.) They both have tempers and know that they may quarrel. Will they ? Or, is it likely that they may become friends ? 1 14 The Parting Briton Riviere , R.A . - Lent by H. J. Turner, Esq. Alas ! they have quarrelled, and each is going home angry with himself and each other. 115 A Dutch Child Lent by C. S. Tomes, Esq. Fritz Jansen 116 Mariana Lent by F. W. Buxton, Esq. Rossetti The painter -poet has chosen the scene in “Measure for Measure,” where Mariana sits in lonely reverie, in a garden at the moated Grange. The song of the page beside her gives voice to her ever-present memories of eyes ‘ that do mislead the morn ’ and kisses ‘ seals of love, but seal’d in vain.’ Angelo has tarried long in absence, and is in intention false. In Tennyson’s ‘ Mariana ’ she speaks with languor and despair, here her face is calm and steadfast, with something of a hope of future comfort which sees beyond the present listless days. Her robe is rich with colour of the south. 1 17 Temptation 21 Fitzgerald H. A. Harper Lent by Mr. Sparks. 118 The Sphinx by Moonlight Lent by E. N. Buxton, Esq. It is night in the great desert ; the sky takes a deeper blue, but the hue of the sand wastes is scarcely darkened. In the centre of the picture, like a watchman peering into the night, is the Sphinx, who once puzzled men’s minds with riddles, and who now, with eyes full of memories of the past and thoughts of the future, with wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command, scornfully confronts and challenges the eternal riddle of human life. “ Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away ! ” 119 Welsh Waterfall Edwin Ellis Lent by C. S. Tomes, Esq. 120 Rabbits Herring Lent by Mr. Sparks. (For Children). Five Baby Bunnies with their mother, who is teaching them “ manners at meals.” They have a good dinner, though no water, but it won’t matter, for rabbits never drink. 12 1 Durham Cathedral E . J . Duval Lent by Alfred Cocks, Esq., Q.C. Side by side stand the Castle and Cathedral, suggesting man’s passion and God’s peace. Beneath, both flows the calm deep river. So “ God’s greatness Flows around our incompleteness ; Round our restlessness His rest.” 122 Grand Canal, Venice (Evening) Philip Norman Lent by the Artist. 123 The City of Tombs Henry Holiday Lent by the Artist. 124 The Plough Boy G. Clausen , A.R. A.. Lent by Alexander Young, Esq. Ships of the Desert Lent by Alexander Young, Esq. 125 A . Hunt 22 126 Hoop Makers — Elsted Wood J . Aumonier, R.I. Lent by F. Aumonier, Esq. 127 The Fragrant Weed W. P . Watson Lent by W. L. T. Brown, Esq. 128 Their Eden Everton Sainsbury Lent by Mrs. Sainsbury. Love and flowers are to be found even among the sand hills and turn them into a garden. 129 Squally Weather off Ostend Edwin Hayes , R.I. Lent by I. A. Joseph, Esq. 130 A Seascape W. Wyllie , R.A . Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. 13 1 Portrait of Canon Barnett G. F. Watts, R.A Lent by Mrs. S. A. Barnett. 132 Kenilworth W. Robinson Lent by C. S. Tomes, Esq. 133 Caravan crossing the Desert Berchere Lent by G. L. Bristow, Esq. 134 Annie Helen Walton Lent by Mrs. J. Henderson. 135 Sunset at Lynmouth C. B. Branwhite Lent by Silvanus P.

Brown, Esq. 142 Evening T . C. Farrer Lent by Alfred Cocks, Esq., Q.C. 143 A Glass of Home-brew’d J. P. Knight Lent by J. L. Barned, Esq. 144 Portrait of a Man Venetian School Lent by “A Friend.” 145 Cupid Asleep G. F. Watts, R.A. Lent by the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates. 146 Bertha Helen Walton Lent by Mrs. J. Henderson. 147 Waiting to Cross Albert Moore Lent by Lord Davey. One of Albert Moore’s studies in beautiful womanhood. A group of maidens are at the lerry waiting to cross. The soft clinging draperies and delicate tints seem a day-dream of summer. It is, as it were, a group in Dresden china, or it may be three shepherdesses in Arcady, and when they have crossed the stream, Daphnis shall play on his lute and make soft music for them in the woodlands. 148 A Freshening Breeze Fverton Salisbury Lent by Mrs. Sainsbury. 149 Mischief Fverton Sainsbury Lent by Mrs. Sainsbury 150 Madonna and Child and John the Baptist School of Lionardo Lent by Sir Charles Turner. 15 1 A Garden Lent by Alexander Henderson, Esq. Albert Moore 2 4 J52 Peona Alice Scott Lent by W. Thornlev, Esq. 153 Sorrow and Memory A.Macgregor Lent by the Artist. Memory is holding the cup brew’d from bitter flowers to the lips of Sorrow. The poet tells us that “ Sorrow’s crown of sorrow Is remembering happier things.” but the same poet sings — “ I hold it true, whate’er befall, I feel it when I suffer most, ’Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.” If this be so, then Memory’s cup will surely be sweet. Bitter memories are those of wrong, not of happiness. 154 The Widow’s School Ha>dy Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. The widow has probably not 14 sat ” for the Queen’s scholar- ship, nor yet for her “ parchment ; ” but life and its pains have been her training, and she makes up by patience what she lacks by certificates. 155 The Cup that Cheers M. E. Kind on Lent by I. A. Joseph, Esq. 156 Whitby Harbour by Moonlight A . Grimshaw Lent by Silvanus P. Thompson, Esq. Whitby has long been a centre for fishing, but in earlier days still it was noted for its Abbey, the ruins of which are shown on the hill 157 Memorial Window to a Child Henry Holiday Lent by the Artist. This a design for a painted glass window. Angels are leading little children to Christ. The beautiful expression of an idea with which we are all familar, helps us to realise how near childhood is to God : “ Not in entire forgetfulness And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy ! ” 158 Promises G. F. Watts , R.A. Lent by the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates. The human being who has never felt the infinite possibilities of life cannot understand this picture — “ Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be ” Are the poet’s words to express the same thought which Mr. Watts embodies in the figure of a joyful child. His hands are full of flowers, and more are growing on the bough before him, ready to be plucked and enjoyed. Wings encircle him, for the future holds joys not limited by earth. Around him are evergreen trees, beyond is the boundless blue of the bounti- ful sky. 159 Venice E. Aubrey Hunt Lent by G. L. Bristow, Esq. 160 Callercoats Edwin Hayes , R.H.A. Lent by the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates. Londoners hear most of the sea when it has swallowed up great ships, or brought sorrow and ruin by its fury. Here we see it in a different aspedt. Happy, gentle, gay and peaceful, it appears as the friend of humanity, ready to give health, and suggest joy. 161 Lost Sheep H. W. B. Davis , R.A. Lent by C. T. Harris, Esq. “The sheep have strayed from their pasture, and night coming on, finds them on a strange and sterile soil. How wide, how lonely and still the world seems to the desolate sheep seeking their shepherd ! 162 On the Beach T. Lloyd Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. 163 The Fisherman’s Home Harry Tuck Lent by R. C. Netting, Esq. (For Children). Daddy is coming with news from the sea. 164 Lady Daffodil G. W. Joy Lent by the Artist. 26 165 Autumn Gold A. Grimshaw Lent by Silvanus P. Thompson, Esq. 166 The Annunciation School of Verona Lent by G. F. Watts, Esq., R.A. 167 A Hill Side Mark Fisher Lent by P. Michaud, Esq. 168 Entrance to Harbour C. Napier Hemy Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. 169 Marriage of the Doge with the Adriatic Marieschi Lent by Sir Charles Turner. When the Doge or Duke of Venice was eledted, he was with much pomp taken out to sea— “ to marry the Adriatic.” This rite was instituted in 1174, after the Venetian fleet had defeated Frederick Barbarossa. Every year the ceremony was repeated, and the doge, borne in his state-galley, the centre of a gay flotilla, to a distance from the shore, threw a gold ring into the sea in token of the marriage of the Venetian power to the sea. This rite ceased when Venice lost her independence, and the sway of doges ceased, and now “ The spouseless Adriatic mourns her lord.” 170 Flowers Van Os Lent by Frederick Davis, Esq. 171 Flowers Van Os Lent by Frederick Davis, Esq. 172 Torrent Walk, Dolgelly, North Wales Charles Stuart Lent by Charles Baly, Esq. 173 The Blue Mediterranean Henry Holiday Lent by the Artist. “ But thou art swelling on, thou deep. Through many an olden clime The billowy anthem ne’er to sleep Until the close of time.” 174 The Evening Hour F. Corhyn Price , R.B.A. Lent by the \rtist. 175 A Cardinal Legros Lent by F. W. Buxton, Esq. 27 176 The Orange Light of Widening Morn Corbett Lent by Lord Davey. 177 Child and Cattle T. Lloyd Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. An afternoon in early autumn on the sea-coast. The trees are changing colour and the thistledown is ready for the breeze. A young girl drives a few stray calves down an uneven path — - “By cliff" and chine, and hollow-nestling wood Thrilled with the poignant savour of the sea.” A picture full of quiet tone and sentiment, full also of that healthy vigour which belongs to dwellers by the sea. 178 Interior of Cottage Allen Hill Lent by C. G. Crump, Esq. 179 Strangers in the Village Harry Tuck Lent by the Artist. Strangers in the village — why have they come ? asks every lip. Perhaps the old man, himself forgotten by the neighbours, has tender memories of the place, which he is bringing his daughter to see. 180 Landscape Van Kessel Lent by Sir Charles Turner. 181 “ Convince a Man ” R . C. Noble , R.S.A. Lent by T. Johnson, Esq. The monk with the beard is trying to force his views upon his clean shaven brother ; but his energy and passion make no impression upon the mild obstinacy of his friend who if con- vinced is “ of the same opinion still.” The monks have grown to be a part of the ancient building they dwell in. 182 Spring Lady Waterford Lent by G. G. Butler, Esq. 183 On the Seashore Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. 184 Harbour, Pier and Sea Lent by T. D. Schloss, Esq. 185 The School Boy of other Days Lent by T* Johnson, Esq. Hugh Carter J. Webb R.

A sketch for a picture, The knight is the symbol of purity and purpose. He rides on, passing all temptation to indolence, to pleasure, to eating and to gambling.

The Donegal cabins are small and ill-thatched, often ready to tumble down, as these have already done ; but, poor as they are, they are the homes of the Irish people, who, by their passionate family love keep their hearths pure and their hearts warm. 228 View from Mr. Ruskin’s Window Arthur Severn Lent by Henry Holiday, Esq. 229 A Dutch Interior Jan Steen Lent by Sir Samuel Montagu, Bart., M.P. 230 The Young Anglers Mezzotto Alberti Lent by E.

Henderson. 244 Virgin and Child Alice Havers Lent by H. Day, Esq. 245 A Lonely Spot Karl Heffner Lent by the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates. “ At the hushed brink of twilight— when, as though Some solemn-journeying phantom paused to lay An ominous finger on the awe-struck day, Earth holds her breath, till that great presence go.” A low Bavarian swamp, some leafless trees, grey sky, still water and the rising moon. Scant enough are these materials, which yet are here so deftly harmonized that one gets only the impression of suspense and weary silence. There is a time when the earth seems conscious of winter’s coming, and with a sigh, spreading through naked boughs and over saddened pools, relinquishes that great effort which has brought forth spring and summer, and shrinks back into her November sleep.

(Annual Beauty will not come at the call of a Legislature, nor will it repeat, in England or America, its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men. — Emerson. * * * You’ve seen the world — The beauty and the wonder and the power, The shapes of things, their colours, lights and shades, Changes, surprises, — and God made it all ! — For what ? Do you feel thankful, ay or no, For this fair town’s face, yonder river’s line, The mountain round it, and the sky above, Much more the figures of man, woman, child, These are the frames to ? Browning. * * To know is something, and to prove How all this beauty might be enjoyed, is more : But, knowing nought, to enjoy is something too. Browning. We cannot arrest sunsets nor carve mountains, but we may turn every English home, if we choose, into a picture which shall be “no counterfeit, but the true and perfect image of life indeed.” — Ruskin. Whether we be young or old, Our destiny, our being’s, hearts and home, Is with infinitude, and only there ; With hope it is, hope that can never die, Effort, and expectation, and desire, And something evermore about to be. Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, think on these things. — St. Paul. * * * * There is One great society alone on earth, L The noble living and the noble dead. *. :V b r Thine be such converse strong and sanative, ^ OV( ladder for thy spirit to reascend health, and joy, and pure contentedness. Wordsworth.
