Eight Bells: the Boy at the Helm', by H. Macallum, in the exhibition at the Dudley Gallery, 1876. 'Mr. Macallum's pictures of coast life are always fresh and vigorous, suggestive of sea breezes, rippling waves, and flashing sunlight. Though generally simple in subject, they are never commonplace, because, however humble the theme, the artist's skilful hand invests it with a special interest by the purity of his colouring and his masterly management of light and shade. The successful rendering of the effect of light is always a feature in Mr. Macallum's pictures, a quality only to be acquired by painting in the open air. The present example was in the winter exhibition of sketches and studies in oil in the Dudley Gallery just closed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
