Academy Notes, 1881. Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. 'Skied; the Hit of the Exhibition; Rejected; Doubtful; Off "the line" - not a good Exhibition; On the line - first rate Exhibition...Partial glimpses of some official notes and circulars appear in the corners of the page; these are from the secretary of the Royal Academy writing in the name of the President and Council, either to signify their acceptance of the picture in question, and to invite the joyful artist, if he thinks it needful, to do the varnishing, or to add some finishing touches...Those solitary figures in their lonely apartments - the one who is suffering great anxiety because he feels his chance is "doubtful," the other deep in despair, already knowing his picture to be "rejected" - will not in vain appeal to the sympathy of the gentle reader. But even among the more fortunate or more deserving "accepted"...one will be "skied," another will be "floored," being suspended either too high or too low for conveniently looking at it...in the opinion of any gentleman or lady painter whose work is placed "on the line," confronting the eyes of the spectator at a direct level, the selection and arrangement of the whole Exhibition will seem to have been most judiciously managed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
