HARVEST-HOME AT THE PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY'S FARM-SCHOOL, REDHILL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864. 'This institution...is designed for the instruction and moral reformation chiefly of boys under fifteen years of age, who have been convicted of crime and sentenced to a few years' detention in a reformatory under the Juvenile Offenders' Act. The...[boys] are employed in field labour, garden and house work, brickmaking...[etc]. After their discharge a portion of them...are assisted to emigrate...The harvest home...attracted a number of visitors to see the games in a field near the farmyard...Here, though the wet grass and soft ground somewhat interfered with the exercises, the boys contended for prizes, in hurdle-racing, long and high jumping, flat-racing, jumping in sacks, trussed racing, balance riding, and climbing. A contest of a more irregular but not less agreeable character took place in the form of a very amusing scramble for a sackfull of apples, in the course of which no small amount of tumbling about was to be seen, and a few pretty hard knocks were received by the actors, who took all in good part and appeared each well satisfied with his share. Prizes for general conduct, progress in school, cleanliness and order, were given'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864.

RUTH, BY A. JOHNSTON, FROM THE EXHIBITION OF THE BRITISH INSTITUTION, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
Ruth, by A. Johnston, from the exhibition of the British Institution, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'The colouring of this picture is extremely vivid and effective; moreover, the beauty of the "subject" is of a highly attractive kind...In regard to this "Ruth" some might ask for a more Oriental physiognomy (according to modern notions), while others might prefer this more familiar type. Who shall tell us what facial character prevailed in the "country of Moab"?...The appropriateness of the expression of this figure must be judged of still more arbitrarily. Of one thing only the painter places us in certainty by the barley Ruth holds - which is, that he intended to represent the well-remembered incident of the beautiful Old Testament idyl, when the young widow, coming to the land of her adoption - the land of her poor and widowed mother-in-law, Naomi, whom she would not forsake - enters the fields of Boaz to glean at the barley harvest, thinking, peradventure, she might "find grace" in the eyes of her rich relative...it is sometimes forgotten that the first son borne by Ruth to Boaz after their marriage was the grandfather of King David, and of course, therefore, the descent is direct from Ruth to the mother of our Saviour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Ruth, by A. Johnston, from the exhibition of the British Institution, 1864. Creator: W Thomas. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
