Légende

The Gipsy Child, 1860. '...Mr. Routledge has commenced the issue of his usual series of magnificent gift-books. This is a volume got up in the very first style of richness and ornamentation...and crowded with illustrations to poems selected by the author. The artists who have been chosen to deal with the subjects are familiar for their excellence, being John Gilbert, J. Wolf, Harrison Weir, J. D. Watson, &c.; while the execution of the engravings has been committed to the trusty hands of the Messrs. Dalziel..."The Gipsy Child: He grows like the young oak, healthy and broad, With no home but the forest, no bed but the sward; Half-naked, he wades in the limpid stream, Or dances about in the scorching beam. The dazzling glare of the banquet sheen Hath never fallen on him, I ween; But fragments are spread, and wood-fire piled; And sweet is the meal of the gipsy child".' From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
