Home - painted by T. Faed - from the Flatou Collection, 1858. Engraving after a painting. '...a little glimpse of "Home," such a home as is only to be seen in Old England, where every man may get a fair day's wage for a fair day's work, and, returning from his labour, may seat him down in his humble cottage, which is his "castle'' - the lord of all he surveys. Look at our friend's jolly smile as he proudly holds up his eldest boy on his knee: it is evident he has no misgivings about tax-gatherers, or passports, or secret police. His thoughts are as free as his labour. The other members of the family group share the same healthy feeling. The goodhumoured wife hastens to hang up her husband's cloak in its accustomed corner; whilst young missy bustles in with a smoking pan containing his frugal supper...by the window, is old granny, sedulously nursing the baby - and of course in her eyes never was such a baby! And, to complete the picture, two other young urchins are at their usual antics - one of them strutting about pompously with father's hat and stick, the other playing with a young puppy which struggles hard to get to its mother. This picture breathes of truth and nature in every part...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
