America revisited by our Special Artist, 1890. 'Random sketches in New York: the ice waggon; industry & idleness; Ariel; from Mexico; a cowboy; in Central Park; in one of the parks...The city of New York, where our Artist has found subjects for many Sketches, boasts one of the largest public parks in the world, two miles and a half long, at least half a mile wide, and comprising a space of 843 acres...The figures of some park loungers, however, portrayed by our Artist, do not represent the better classes of New York people. One is a stranger from Mexico, with slouched hat and fur coat, seeming to feel the rigour of the New York winter climate; a "cow-boy" from the West, having returned to the habits of civilised politeness, is getting his boots blacked for the promenade; and a Kentucky man is quietly absorbing the smoke of his cigar. Young girls, from the neighbouring mansions, are taking their daily walk or run, in obedience to the rules of health. A horse is waiting for somebody to ride. But there is snow on the ground, which must be swept and scraped by the servants of the park; while ice from the reservoir is conveyed in a waggon to supply the confectioners and hotels of New York'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
