The Mariner's Children, by Lawrence Duncan, in the General Exhibition of Water-Colour Drawings, Dudley Gallery, 1868. Engraving of a drawing. 'The merit of the present drawing is none the less because modest in kind. On the contrary, the examination which it deserves will reveal a genuine, unforced, unvulgar sympathy with its humble subject, accompanied by excellent drawing and an artistic feeling for colour...Any reader may construct for himself the story of the lonely mariner away - far away on yonder treacherous sea, now so calm, so beautiful and bright;...of the little son, the pride of the family, already giving indications of a bias towards his father's adventurous calling, and who, having constructed a toy sailing-boat - a miracle of skill - has brought his elder and younger sister down to the beach to witness his triumph in naval architecture, though won only on a little pool left by the ebbing tide'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
