On The Sea Shore, by J. D. Crittenden, 1870. 'What pleasanter sight can be imagined than that of children bathing, or pretending to bathe, on a summer's morning or evening, from shallow, glistening sands, among gentle laughing waves, along a sea-shore safely sheltered, or when visited only by the lightest breeze? The subject or "motive" of this nicely-modelled and delicately-carved statue by Mr. Crittenden, in the Academy Exhibition, is, however, so appropriately illustrated by the lines quoted in the catalogue that it will suffice, by way of description of the sculptor's intention, to reproduce them: "Resting, a little weary of her play, Intent she gazes at her happy mates, Who chase the wave, or shouting from it run, Half-hidden by the overtaking spray, Which gleams and glitters in the golden ray Shot o'er the ocean from the setting sun".' From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
