The Luther Celebration in Germany: Luther and his wife in their home at Wittenberg, 1883. 'The four-hundredth anniversary of the birth of [German priest, theologian and author Martin Luther (1483-1546)], at Eisleben, in Prussian Saxony, was celebrated last Saturday, not only in that little town, where our Special Artist, Mr. W. Simpson, attended for this Journal, but in almost every city of Germany...One of [his sketches] represents Luther and his wife Catherine sitting together in his room, on the curious old double seat at the old table, which form part of his furniture still preserved in the apartments he occupied so many years, in the building then devoted to the University, but originally the Augustinian Monastery of Wittenberg.' From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
