Suffolk-street Exhibition of Pictures Second Notice
A detailed critique of numerous works in the Suffolk Street exhibition. The review lambasts G Stevens for mawkish sentiment and waxy execution in Red Riding Hood and The Girl with a Broken Pitcher, condemns Prentis’s sponge pictures as crude abortions, praises Herring and C Jusi for true drawing, color, and texture, and notes several other works by Turner, Heaphy, Peel, Woolmer, Roods, Dighton, Fripp, Hammerton, Carter, and Park, balancing praise with sharp, period-voice censure.
