The Harvest Moon, by E. Warren, from the exhibition of the New Water-colour Society, 1860. Engraving of a painting. 'Mr. E. Warren's little picture of "The Harvest Moon" is a striking example of powerful chiaroscuro and intensity of impasto, which have seldom been surpassed in water-colour painting. It was justly admired in the Exhibition of the New Water-colour Society. The moon is seen struggling, but struggling with obvious supremacy, through a thick cluster of clouds, its rays dimly illumining the picturesque homestead in the foreground. On one side we see the newly-stacked corn; on the other some sheep are penned. The lights through the farmhouse windows give additional life and animation to the scene. Altogether the picture is a most effective one, and its truth to nature will be recognised by all who have had experience of rural life'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
