No. 151. - "Psyche Returning from the Infernal Regions with the Casket of Beauty" - painted by T. Uwins, R.A., 1850. Exhibition at the Royal Academy in London. 'The merit...belongs to Messrs. Maclise and Hart, the "hangers"...Every well-wisher to Art and to the Academy will thank these gentlemen for the manly way in which they have acted throughout their arduous duties: for it is no holiday task to select some fifteen hundred works from at least three thousand, and then to arrange them so as to give satisfaction to themselves, to the Royal Academy, to the great body of exhibitors, and to the many who pay their shillings...Another striking feature...has been the admission of "the press", for the first time, to the private view. The Royal Academicians have hitherto confined the privilege of admission to their own patrons, to well-known purchasers, to her Majesty's Ministers, and...the aristocracy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
