Boy Blowing Bubbles by the late W. Hunt, 1871. 'This drawing, by our English master of water colours, William Hunt, is the property of Miss Burdett Coutts, and forms an item in the loan portion of the Exhibition for the Benefit of the Distressed Peasantry of France [ie a fundraiser for victims of the Franco-Prussian War]. We take the occasion of engraving the drawing to announce that the very attractive exhibition referred to is now transferred from the rooms of the Society of British Artists, Suffolk-street, to the rooms, No. 25, Old Bond-street, where we trust it will continue to receive the support of the benevolent public. As regards the drawing itself, comment is scarcely needed. It is one of a class by the same painter with which all must be familiar, and a class of which we had already engraved samples. William Hunt, as a painter of boys, is almost on a par with William Hunt, the painter of still-life par excellence; and this is one of the most characteristic examples of his power in the former category'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
