The International Exhibition: carving in wood, "The Hare and Pheasant", by T. H. Kendall, 1862. 'The hare and pheasant which we here figure constitute a still-life group...It is by Mr. T. H. Kendall, of Warwick. As a work of imitative carving it is very fine, the plumage of the bird being given with great tenderness and truth, and that rounded character which occurs in groups of feathers, and, indeed, in solitary feathers, is well felt and rendered. The action, or rather want of action, in the game, resulting from passiveness or death, is well contrasted with the rigidity and life of the holly-branch, which is energetic and sparkling. It is altogether a very successful work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
